DITHOR help

I need help! Obviously I don't remember my literary analysis teaching from elementary school or high school.

I have the teacher's book and the level 2/3 student book and I still can't figure out how to help my son with his Day 3 worksheet for "Adventure" genre. We are doing a Story Map.

"Describe the Setting," I understand.
"List the Main Characters," I understand.
"Explain the Problem," I understand.

I understand the concept of "List the Moods" but I don't really know what we should put on the paper. (I also have the level 4/5 student book for my daughter, but this exercise is not the one for today.)

He's reading Black Stallion, if that helps.

we just put down how the book made us feel when we read that part.
exciting, suspenseful, happy, elated...

Well, my son understood it better than I did then. :) He did that all by himself. I just wasn't sure what we were REALLY supposed to do. I try to read to much into things I guess. :o
