Plot Diagram Images

Hello everyone!

I thought I would take this opportunity to use this blog and share a resource with everyone that I created today. These jpeg images are going to be used with my plot structure and diagram lesson this week. Students are creating an interactive notebook in my class this year, so these images were used in a PPT during a stage of the notebook entry for plot structure and plot diagrams.

They are super basic, but just something I never found that looked how I wanted them to look. The images use color to highlight a portion of the diagram with a set that include and don't include labels. I was thinking (and will be doing myself) of then using the non-labeled images as a quick assessment at the start or end of a class one day this or next week to assess their knowledge of the five basic elements of plot.

Hope this is useful for someone now or at some point down the line! I also wanted to try out our new blog and contribute something.

Cheers!
