Illustrated Plot Maps (RL 5)

Today you are going to create an illustrated plot map of a children's story.  The purpose of this activity is to review plot elements and get us ready to compare plot structures later this domain.

Directions:
1) Read a children's story here or here.  Make sure you read the whole story.
2) Create an illustrated plot map of your story.  Your illustrated plot map must include:

• The 5 plot elements (introduction/exposition; rising action; climax/turning point; falling action; resolution/denouement): See the post "What are the plot elements?" for help.
• A short written description of what happens in each part of the story.
• Illustrations that go along with the story.
