What You Need to Do While Others are Conferencing

• 1) Read “The Short Story” and “Thinking About Plot” in your packet” (pages 1 and 2).

• 2) Read “A Good Man is Hard to Find”• Annotate for plot structure AND character development • HINT: the grandmother and the misfit• Look at the questions at the end as well….answering them might

just help you understand the story more fully

• 3) Read “Freytag on Plot” in your packet (pages 9 and 10)…these pages define the plot structure terms

of characterization)

• 6) Fill out your “Plot Diagram” graphic organizer (page 12)• This is the basic frame of your story• If you have questions, look at pages 9 and 10 in your packet

• 7) Fill out your “ Sequence of Events” graphic organizer (page 13)• This takes your basic frame and makes it more specific
