Tiny Seed Tale

This worksheet supports students in Grades 2 and 3 as they practice narrative writing by continuing a story from a provided beginning. As students write the middle and ending, they focus on story progression, character actions, logical sequencing, and clear outcomes, helping them understand how events connect to form a complete and meaningful narrative.

Learning Goals

• Building Story Middles and Endings (Grades 2-3)
  Continue a narrative by adding events that logically develop and conclude the story.
• Narrative Continuation Skills
  Use details from the opening to guide character actions and plot development.
• Logical Sequencing
  Organize events in a clear order that makes sense to the reader.
• Creative Writing Development
  Generate original ideas while staying consistent with the story’s setup.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Writing Practice
  Designed to support early narrative standards with clear structure.
• Reduces Blank-Page Stress
  A provided beginning helps students focus on ideas rather than getting started.
• Encourages Complete Story Thinking
  Reinforces the full beginning-middle-end framework.
• Flexible Classroom Use
  Suitable for independent writing, small groups, assessment, or homework.

This activity helps students understand how stories grow from an opening idea into a complete narrative with connected events and a satisfying conclusion. By practicing sequencing, character decision-making, and creative continuation, learners build confidence and clarity in their writing. It works well in both classroom instruction and homeschool language arts settings focused on foundational storytelling skills.
