What is the plot of a story?

Click here  to find out!

As we have discussed in class, the plot of a novel is very important because it tells us what happens, and how it happens.

Book reviews often give a short description of the plot of the material they are reviewing. People reading the review want to know what the story is about, but they don't want the ending to be spoiled! It is really important then, that the reviewer knows the plot of the story, so he or she can provide the right amount of detail for the review.

At your workstations, you will find a digital camera. In your groups of 3, you will need to retell the plot of The Boy in Striped Pyjamas using pictures. There are costumes available to use if you wish. Use your imagination! People don't neccesarily have to be the centre of your pictures - what other things could you use to retell the story of The Boy in Striped Pyjamas?

Next, upload your photos onto your computer. Once the photos are loaded, you will need to open Comic Life and import the photos into the program. Using your photos, you will need to create a comic strip explaining the plot of the novel. Once your photos are in sequence, you will need to add captions to your photos.

Be imaginative!

When you have completed you Comic Life strip, upload it into your e-portfolio for assesment.

Don't forget to submit your blog for this week! You need to focus on the importance of the plot in The Boy in Striped Pyjamas. [[Lesson 1|
