We can start by reading a simple kindergarten story. Then, we can point out the start of the story as the 'beginning' where the characters and the setting are introduced. For example, in a story about a little mouse in the kindergarten, when we first meet the mouse and learn where it lives is the beginning. The'middle' is where the action or problem happens, like when the mouse loses its cheese. The 'end' is how it gets resolved, like finding the cheese again.
One way is to choose a well - known kindergarten story. Say the story of the three little pigs. The beginning is when the pigs leave home to build their houses. The middle is when the wolf comes and tries to blow down their houses. This is the part with the most action and problems. The end is when the pigs are safe in the brick house and the wolf can't get in. By repeating this process with different stories, kindergarteners will start to recognize the pattern of beginning, middle and end.
Let's take a story about a little boy in kindergarten. First, in the beginning, we tell about how the boy came to kindergarten for the first time. Then, in the middle, there could be an event like the boy not sharing his toys and getting in trouble. We can discuss how this is the middle part where something important happens. Finally, at the end, the boy learns to share and makes friends. By highlighting these parts in different stories, kids can understand the concept.
One story could be: In the beginning, there was a little kitten in the kindergarten. It was new and a bit scared. In the middle, the other animals in the kindergarten, like the puppies and bunnies, came to play with the kitten. They showed it all the fun toys and places to play. At the end, the kitten was very happy and made a lot of friends.
When teaching the beginning, middle and end of a story, use visual aids. For the start, a picture of the story's location can help. Say 'This is where our story begins.' In the middle, show pictures of the action. For instance, if it's a story about a race, show the runners in the middle of the race. As for the end, use something like a happy or sad face to represent how the story finishes. This makes it easier for students to understand the flow of the story.
To teach this effectively, get kids to act out stories. That way, they physically experience the flow from start to finish. Also, give them prompts to create stories and guide them on structuring it properly.
One way is to use simple examples. For the beginning, show how it sets the scene and introduces characters. For the middle, explain it's where the conflict or main action happens. And for the end, it resolves the conflict. For example, in 'The Three Little Pigs', the beginning has the pigs leaving home, the middle is the wolf trying to blow their houses down, and the end is the pigs being safe in the brick house.
The beginning of a fiction story usually sets the scene, introduces the main characters and gives an initial situation or problem. For example, in 'The Hunger Games', the beginning shows us Katniss in District 12, her family situation and the introduction of the reaping system which is the start of the big problem. The middle is where the conflict unfolds and develops. Katniss is in the arena, facing various challenges and making alliances. The end is the resolution of the conflict. Katniss and Peeta's victory and the start of a new era for District 12.
Well, start the picture story's beginning by setting a mood. It could be a bright and sunny day at the beach. The middle part can be where something unexpected happens, such as a big wave coming. And the end is how the characters deal with it, like they build a sandcastle higher to avoid the wave. Just make sure each part - beginning, middle, and end - flows smoothly into the next in the picture story.
The beginning of a story usually sets the scene, introduces the main characters and the initial situation. For example, in 'The Little Prince', it starts with the pilot's plane crash in the desert. The middle part is where the conflict and action happen. In the same story, the Little Prince's adventures on different planets are the middle part. The end is the resolution of the conflict. In 'The Little Prince', it ends with the Little Prince's return to his planet and the pilot's new understanding of life.
The beginning of a story needs to grab the reader's attention. You can start with an interesting event or a thought - provoking statement. In the middle, there are often obstacles and challenges for the characters to overcome. This part can be full of twists and turns. The end should tie up loose ends and leave the reader with a sense of satisfaction. It could be a happy ending where the hero gets what they want, or a more bittersweet conclusion.
Another good method is to create a story map with the characters. Draw a big picture of the story setting, and then put pictures or little cut - outs of the characters in the relevant places. As you tell the story, move the characters around on the map. This helps the kids visualize where the characters are in the story. You can also encourage the kids to make their own story maps with the characters at a later stage. This hands - on activity makes the learning more engaging for them.
We can use a scrapbook. Just stick pictures related to the kindergarten year and write down the stories beside them. It's a simple and visual way to share.
