Complete the diagram below with the correct plots and explanation given.



LIST OF PLOTS: LIST OF EXPLANATION: Fritz, in secret, built a canoe. On his first trial to test out the canoe, he found a message tied to the leg of an albatross. The message was from a shipwrecked girl. He went to look for the girl and found her on a different part of the island, near a volcano. He took the girl, Jenny, back with him to his part of the island.

At the end of the story, the Robinsons decided to go their own ways. Fritz planned to marry Jenny in England. The three younger brothers wanted to go to schools in Europe while the parents decided that they were happy to remain on the island.

The Robinsons were on their way to Australia from Switzerland when they were shipwrecked. The crew abandoned the ship and left the Robinsons to save themselves. Luckily, they managed to build a raft and rowed to the nearest island.

One day, the Robinsons sighted a ship. When they saw a Union Jack flying, they sent a signal to the ship. The captain of the ship came to shore to meet them and invited them to return to Europe with him.

On the island, they built a new life and managed to get by with items they saved from the ship and whatever they found on the island. They overcame difficulties and problems by working together. They had many adventures and the most frightening was the battle with the boa constrictor.

RISING ACTION

On the island, they built a new life and managed to get by with items they saved from the ship and whatever they found on the island. They overcame difficulties and problems by working together. They had many adventures and the most frightening was the battle with the boa constrictor.

CLIMAX

Fritz, in secret, built a canoe. On his first trial to test out the canoe, he found a message tied to the leg of an albatross. The message was from a shipwrecked girl. He went to look for the girl and found her on a different part of the island, near a volcano. He took the girl, Jenny, back with him to his part of the island.

FALLING ACTION

One day, the Robinsons sighted a ship. When they saw a Union Jack flying, they sent a signal to the ship. The captain of the ship came to shore to meet them and invited them to return to Europe with him.

RESOLUTION

At the end of the story, the Robinsons decided to go their own ways. Fritz planned to marry Jenny in England. The three younger brothers wanted to go to schools in Europe while the parents decided that they were happy to remain on the island.

From,

Suggestion answer.

Dear Lee,

I heard that youre feeling very upset because you have not enough money to go to the fair with Sam and Raj. I know youve been waiting to ride on the big wheel and to eat lots of candy floss.

However, I think you should do some jobs so you can have enough money to go to the fair. In my opinion, you can get some money by being a baby sitter because I know youre really good at taking care of children. Other than that, you can also help your neighbour to mow their yard. I hope you can rethink my idea and will have some money for the fair! I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
