Pg. 11: Storyline graphic organizer. Students can it with any story or novel, all year long, to identify: Background, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, & Resolution
>Simply laid out, and simply phrased, but not elementary in style or structure
>A valuable aid to reluctant writers for novel-based writing assignments.
IDEA: Laminate the storyline graphic organizer for each student and have them keep it handy to whip out off & on all year. Thus can make plot structure a natural part of reading routine.
