Agenda
1) Warmup
Agree or disagree: People should always say what they really mean.
2) Test on thursday
3) Fact or Inference
Homework:
Study for the test.
First of all, the test on the elements of stories is on Thursday. It will be exactly the same as the practice test, but with a different story. The students will be asked to define the basic terms of narrative analysis:
Plot
Setting
Conflict
Protagonist
Antagonist
Climax
Resolution
Theme
They will then read a short (very short) story and identify each of these elements within the story.
You can find the definition of the elements here.
Today we worked on the difference between fact and inference. When you're using these words to discuss a story, a Fact is something that the story tells you directly. An Inference is something you have to figure out yourself.
