This document provides a template for students to analyze the elements of realistic fiction in a story. The template includes spaces for the student to fill in the name of the book and author being studied. It then lists five key elements of realistic fiction and asks the student to circle "yes" or "no" to indicate whether each element is present in the story, and provide an explanation or drawing for any "yes" answers.
