Underlining Activity • Read the story silently or quietly with a partner. • After reading the story, highlight the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution in different colors. • Make sure you draw a key so I know which color identifies each part of the story. • You may work with a partner but you must complete your own underlining activity. • You have fifteen minutes to complete this activity!!! Use your time wisely!

  20. Story Workshop • Get into groups of 4 (no more than 4) • In your groups, trade your hero stories so everybody has one that is not their own. • Read your partner’s story silently once. • Read a second time highlighting any exposition, underlining any rising action, putting stars around the climax, circling the falling action, and putting brackets around the resolution. • Then write a paragraph telling your partner at least 3 great things about their story so far, 2 things that need improvement, and make 2 suggestions about things they could add.

  21. Homework! • Take the suggestions your partner made and write me a 1st draft of a story. These do not have to be typed. Make sure to include ALL parts of a narrative • Characters • Conflict • Exposition • Rising Action • Climax • Falling Action • Resolution
