Ideas for Teachers from Teachers
How do you teach young writers to develop a simple plot? |
Example Blurb: Your students' colored animal stories might be further inspired by Dav Pilkey's Dog Breath, which is about an animal with a different kind of problem. Help students see the simple elements of plot in Pilkey's story: introduction of character and setting; development of a problem; development of a solution. The same simple sequence could be applied to a student's colored animal story.
