Explain to students what the worksheet requires them to do.

Say: You will need to read the text The Legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine and then fill in the spaces on this Worksheet. It may be easier to read a chapter and fill in the area relating to that chapter as you go.

Explain to students what each part of the Worksheet means.

• Setting: The place where the story happens. In this case there are two settings.
• Characters: Who are the main characters in the story?
• Story sequence: What happened and when?
• Theme: The message the author was giving.

Hand out the books and have students read quietly at their own pace.
