Third Grade Talking Points

• "In stories, characters are the people, animals, or creatures that the story is about. In Minecraft, characters can be Steve, Alex, animals like pigs, cows, and monsters like zombies and creepers."
• "The setting is where and when the story takes place. In Minecraft, the setting can be a forest, a cave, a village, or a castle. It can be during the day or at night."
• "When we use descriptive language, we make the story more interesting. We can use words like 'sparkling', 'gigantic', 'mysterious' to describe characters and settings in Minecraft stories."
