Work through your stories from yesterday and identify the parts of the plot structure by:
1. Highlighting the setting
2. Circling the conflict
3. Underlining the rising action
4. Highlighting the climax in a different color.
5. Putting a squiggly line under the falling action.
6. Highlighting the resolution in yet another color.
ADD A LEGEND AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR STORY SO I KNOW WHAT IS WHAT. (example: yellow = setting, circle = conflict, etc)
Independent
