This purposeful activity has been designed to accompany a whole class reading of the picture book Macca the Alpaca by Matt Cosgrove. These no-prep comprehension worksheets will allow you to check your students’ ability to summarise a familiar story.   After reading the text, students will identify and record the key elements of the story, including the main characters, setting and plot. We have included multiple options to suit the needs of your class, including:

1. Drawing a picture that summarises what the story was about.
2. Drawing a picture and using a sentence prompt to write a summary of what the story was about on 24mm lines.
3. Drawing a picture and using a sentence prompt to write a summary of what the story was about on 18mm lines.

  This task is perfect for independent work, a small group task, scribing, evidence for assessment or for a relief folder!   Early Years and Foundation students may benefit from having this resource enlarged to A3 to provide more space for drawing and writing.   Check out more amazing resources related to Macca the Alpaca in our Macca the Alpaca PACKAGE.
