Plot Project:
20-30 Option 1
Students will rewrite the plot of the story by answering the following question: “If you were the author, what key event in the plot would you have written differently? How would it affect the rest of the story?” |
20-30 Option 2
Use Word Processor to write a letter to the author about the book that we have read. Describe how the plot helped to develop the characters and how the choice/use of vocabulary added to the intensity of the plot. (Example: Did the author word things in simple terms such as: “They got into a big fight” or did the author use creative language that intensified a scene such as, “The enormous brawl broke out, shocking the crowd and catching everyone off guard!”? After using Word Processor to edit, post your writing to your KidBlog website. |
10-19 Option 1
Create a timeline or flow chart of the events in the story. Then, put yourself in your favorite character’s shoes. As if you were that character, choose one event and write a brief diary entry about how it affected you. http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/ materials/timeline/ |
10-19 Option 2
Create a comic-strip on poster board of a key event from the rising action, the climax, and a key event from the falling action of the story. |
0-9 Option 1
Create a timeline that lists at least 10 events from the story in chronological order. Put a red box around what you consider the "climax" of the story. |
0-9 Option 2
Create a blog on Kidblog that defines each of the main vocabulary words that are included in the "plot". You may use your plot map to make sure you cover all of the key vocabulary. There are 7 key terms to remember. |
