The task in the image is to
match the beginning, middle, and end of the story from the video *"Maria celebrates Brazil"*. We are given three events, and we need to place them correctly under the appropriate section:
Beginning,
Middle, or
End.
---
Let's analyze each event:
1.
"Maria doesn’t want to go to the dance practice because she wants to go to Ana’s house."
- This shows Maria’s initial reluctance or conflict. It happens at the
start of the story, before any decision is made.
-
✔ This is the
Beginning.
2.
"Dad convinces Maria to participate in the parade next week. She decides to share her culture with the world, so she goes to the dance practice."
- This shows a turning point: Maria changes her mind and agrees to join. This comes after the initial resistance and leads into preparation.
-
✔ This is the
Middle.
3.
"Maria and her friends dance to the beat. She enjoys being in the parade, and she feels very excited."
- This describes the climax or final outcome — the actual celebration and Maria’s positive feelings.
-
✔ This is the
End.

####
Beginning:

Explanation:
This follows the classic
story structure:
-
Beginning: Introduces the character and the problem (Maria doesn't want to go).
-
Middle: The conflict is resolved (Dad convinces her), and action begins (practice).
-
End: The resolution (the parade) and the emotional payoff (she feels excited).
This helps students understand narrative structure while engaging with cultural content.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of beginning middle and end of a story worksheet.
