Direct Instruction
Setting affects plot
better video
Direct / Guided
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
When complete, on the back of your story, explain how the setting influences the plot. Consider where it is and what time it is? Would the same things have occurred if the setting was different? Explain in detail.
Check for understanding
Individual student checks during independent work.
Closure
Review of plot structure elements.
