We began class by taking notes on 'story parts'. Students learned about the elements of plot (introduction, initial incident, rising action, climax, conclusion) as well as the different character types: protagonist, antagonist, flat, round, static, dynamic, stock.
Mr. Pfeiffer helped students write out an example of a plot diagram for the story "Thank you Ma'am."
Throughout class, Mr. Pfeiffer gave students delicious sticks of orange coloured chocolate.
We then discussed stereotypes looking at how we as Canadians are stereotyped. Our discussion lead to hockey and arguably the greatest hockey player ever: Maurice Richard.
Students read quietly the short story "The Hockey Sweater" and then were assigned to create a labelled plot diagram for the story.
Homework: complete the plot diagram for "The Hockey Sweater"
