Actually,
you haven’t uploaded a story — the image you shared is a *worksheet template* titled “Plants’ Needs,” designed to help students analyze a story by identifying its key elements using a “story hand” graphic.
The worksheet includes:
- A hand with fingers labeled:
Characters,
Place,
Time,
Problem,
Solution
- Five blank boxes (one near each finger) where students write details from the story
- A section at the bottom to
retell the story in their own words

✔ How to Solve This Worksheet (Step-by-Step):
Since there’s no actual story provided in your upload, here’s how you would complete it
if you had a story:
#### Step 1: Read the Story Carefully
Example story (hypothetical, since none was given):
> *Lily planted a sunflower seed in her backyard. She watered it every day and made sure it got plenty of sunlight. After two weeks, the plant started to droop. Lily noticed the soil was dry and the sun was too strong. She moved the pot to a shadier spot and watered it more often. Soon, the sunflower perked up and grew tall.*
#### Step 2: Fill in the Boxes Using the “Story Hand”
-
Thumb – Characters: Who is in the story?
→ *Lily, the sunflower*
-
Index Finger – Place: Where does the story happen?
→ *Lily’s backyard*
-
Middle Finger – Time: When does it happen?
→ *Over a period of two weeks*
-
Ring Finger – Problem: What went wrong?
→ *The sunflower drooped because the soil was dry and the sun was too strong.*
-
Pinky – Solution: How was the problem fixed?
→ *Lily moved the pot to shade and watered it more often.*
#### Step 3: Retell the Story in Your Own Words
> Lily planted a sunflower in her yard. She took good care of it, but after two weeks, it started to look sick. She realized it needed less sun and more water. So she moved it to a shady spot and gave it extra water. The sunflower recovered and grew beautifully.

✔ Summary:
This worksheet teaches students to break down a story into 5 key elements using a visual “hand” mnemonic. Without a story, we can only explain how to use the template — not fill it in. Let me know if you’d like to provide a story to analyze!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of retell story worksheet.
