Click here for the Plot Diagram/Freitag's Pyramid Prezi.
Over the last few class periods, we have covered A TON of review! We have looked at elements of story mapping - what makes a story complete, intriguing, and simply holds our attention for its entirety.
Our review covered the following:
-Freitag's Pyramid theory: the necessity of a story having a beginning, middle, and end.
-Basic characterization: locating protagonists and antagonists; labeling characters as dynamic or static.
-Conflict: Oh my, the conflict! We expanded our types of conflict, and generalized them into two different categories - internal and external conflict.
-Setting: Time, location and place are not always overtly stated. It is always possible to add detail to the setting by gathering information from the text details.
-Theme and motif: Remember, the theme is a reflection about what the author wants us to understand, even if the concept is hard to believe, or simply unpleasant.
For your prep for tomorrow's assignment, check the powerpoint file above as a reference. I look forward to seeing which groups succeed in being the glowing representation for their peers, and earning the Golden 100.
