Common Core Standards
Grade 2
Speaking and Listening SL.2.4
Tell a story or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking audibly in coherent sentences.

Second graders are dipping their toes into some analytical skills along with developing their organization and coherent language abilities with this one. It's a win-win-win.
