|Lesson Plan |
|Time: |Procedure: |Materials Needed: |
|10 minutes |Warm-up Exercise: |Computer connected to a projector; PowerPoint presentation, slide 2 |
| |Display slide 2. With students, read the passage and the question | |
| |that follows. Have students discuss what they think is missing | |
| |from the story. Discuss ways that you could revise the story to | |
| |make it better. | |
| | | |
| |Ask students what elements are important to a story and write their| |
| |ideas on the board. (for example, climax, something changes, the | |
| |characters learn something) | |
|5 minutes |Motivation (Real-world Applications): | |
| |Tell students that when they tell a friend a story about what | |
| |happened on a field trip or at summer camp, they are telling the | |
| |plot. The plot consists of the events make a story a story. | |
| | | |
| |Explain that thinking about the important elements of plot will | |
| |help them to craft better stories. Understanding plot will also | |
| |help them analyze stories they read. | |
|15 minutes |Presentation of New Material/Guided Practice: |Computer connected to a projector; PowerPoint presentation, slides 3–7|
| |Display slide 3. Remind students that stories include a series of | |
| |events, or plot. Usually there is a main problem, or conflict in | |
| |the story that helps drive the plot. The problem continues to build| |
| |tension in a story until a big event, or climax, occurs. After the | |
| |climax, the problem in the story is usually resolved. | |
| | | |
| |Together, read the story “Raven Steals the Light” on slides 4-5 and| |
| |identify the plot elements: character, problem, climax, and | |
| |resolution. Have students work in partners to answer the questions | |
| |on slide 6. Reference the answers on slide 7 as needed. | |
|30 minutes |Closing Activity: | |
| |Work with the whole class to write a story. Write the first line of| |
| |a story on the board, then go around the room and have each student| |
| |develop a line of the story. Go around the room as many times as | |
| |needed to complete the story. When the story is complete, discuss | |
| |the plot of the story and how the plot developed. | |
|Homework: If your day today were a story, write its plot. |
|Differentiation: Have students needing extra support work in small groups to draw a comic strip. Explain that the comic strip shows the events, or the plot, of a |
|story. Ask students who need an extra challenge to read a short story and then work individually to change the events and thus the plot. For example, if two people|
|met and becomes friends, students would rewrite the story so that the two people don’t met or meet at a different time. Have them share their stories with other |
|students. |
