  1. Story elements: Who stole the cookies from the..cookie jar? A chant of story elements written by Mrs. Ray…. for you!

  2. Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? • (Name) stole the cookies from the cookie jar! • Who me? • Yes you! • Wasn’t me! Couldn’t be! • Why’s that? Where were you? • I was off…in the loo! • No, you were snitching; in the kitchen! • No, I was itching, with my condition.

  3. Who stole the cookies… • I think a snack is what you were fixing! • I was smearing on an ointment that I got at my doctor’s appointment, ‘cause my skin was burning with poison ivy. Well two cookies, from the jar are missing… And your lips with chocolate are glistening. So I think that your skin is itching because I caught you snitching. Retell your theory, until you’re bleary, but don’t look at me. I’m not the cookie thief.

  4. Cookie jar • But I place in you in the setting, where the cookies you were getting; right from the kitchen, while you claim you were itching. • Setting is where and when, but I was in the bathroom then. So I couldn’t be getting, those cookies from the kitchen setting. • Well first they went missing, then chocolate you were kissing. The plot is what happens, a series of events. I know one thing; two cookies up and went!

  5. Cookie jar • Well, I guess we have a problem that we can’t fix; two cookies are missing--we have a conflict! • It’s man against man, and I’ll take a stand; is that chocolate smeared on your hand? • What, that? That’s only mud. But wait, it tastes so awfully good. Do you think I could have lost my mind? Been itching so bad, I crossed a line. Could I have nabbed those cookies you fixed? Could I have been delirious?

  6. Cookie jar • So you admit, you were in a fix, and you took two cookies to get some kicks? • No, I’m just saying, my mind was swaying. The poison ivy, made me tell a little fib. • So we have a resolution; we’re at the end, and now we’ll tie up all the loose ends. You lost your mind, for a second or two, you were in the kitchen, and not the loo. The story is over, the antagonist is you. I hope the cookies were good; they’ll have to last you!

  7. Cookie jar • So, who stole the cookies from the …cookie jar? • I stole the cookies from the cookie jar! The initiating event was when I went in the kitchen and took two cookies from you. We had a problem, a conflict we faced. The turning point was when you guessed my fate. I had lost my mind when the cookies left the plate!

  8. Cookie jar • So the climax of the story was, when you reached the turning point and confessed you did it ‘cause you forgot who was boss. I was out of my head, my mind I lost But the resolution is--I am sorry; I repent For those two cookies I will pay a month’s rent. No, better than that, I’ll do the dishes!

  9. Cookie jar In a short retelling of this story we are telling; You were in the kitchen and not in the loo You took the cookies to get your mind off itching

  10. Cookie jar • Then you admitted that a big fib you had knitted; you apologized and we will now get on with our lives. • You retold the story, friend; I’ll summarize it, then we’ll end; I took your prize cookies, and now I have kitchen duty. - - THE END
