3. Color the fish so that the parts that pertain to the story are
emphasized.
4. Also write the title and author inside the fish. Remember correct short
story punctuation.
5. For each of the 8 paragraphs in the story…
A. number the paragraphs around the outside of the fish (The
numbers should match the paragraphs in chronological order.),
B. draw an image of the main idea in each paragraph (Color each
of the 8 images),
