They may also think about the details and descriptions of the setting or events. In this quiz, the students will answer questions about the characters or setting from a story.
Story - Sisters on a Plane
"Welcome aboard!" the flight attendant cheerfully said as Emily entered the large Boeing 747 airplane. She and her older sister, Marion, were heading to visit their grandparents a few states away. Eight-year old Emily looked around the airplane. She didn't know what to expect.
"Catch up," Marion said as she saw her sister spending too much time looking and not enough time walking. "There are people behind you, Emily, waiting to get to their seat.” The airplane aisle was quite narrow. No one would be able to get by Emily as she crept down the aisle to her seat in the back of the plane.
Emily was unsure of what to do. Marion was several years older than her. She was seven years older than her to be exact. Didn't Marion remember when she was my age and scared of the world around her? Emily thought to herself. Trembling, she picked up her pace and walked faster down the aisle.
An older man stopped the girls from proceeding as he tried to stuff an oversized bag in the compartment over the seats. Marion sighed with irritation. She was ready to sit down and relax. She had been studying for finals in the past few days. She just finished her last final this morning leaving her very exhausted. She felt that Emily would understand that since Emily had observed her working so hard as her little sister played.
After the old man finally was able to cram the bag into the overhead compartment, he apologized for the delay he caused and sat down. Marion looked up at the numbers of the seats. Then she looked at her ticket. This was the seat. Marion looked back down the aisle to see her sister struggling getting her carry-on bag down the aisle. The wheel on her small rolling bag was stuck on a leg of one of the seats. Emily began to cry. Dumping her bag and purse on her seat, Marion quickly darted back down the aisle.
"Stop crying!" Marion yelled at Emily as she moved the wheel away from the chair's leg. That just made Emily cry even more. Marion grabbed Emily's hand and pulled her to her seat. Marion started feeling sorry for Emily. After all, this was her first flight. It must be a little scary getting on a big airplane.
Once seated, Emily dried her tears and looked up at her sister. "I'm sorry, Marion, for being such a problem today." She knew Marion had been very busy the days before.
"That's okay, Emily. I'm sorry for rushing you along. Traveling by airplane for the first time must be scary." Both girls hug as the flight attendants shut the airplane door.
