Parts of a Plot Vocabulary

Hello!

Students, remember you have a summative assessment on Monday! It is not a test but will be a mini project that involves lots of coloring and fun! Even though it will be fun, I still need you to take it seriously, like you would a test. Please make sure to study your vocabulary and practice identifying the parts of a plot over the weekend. Watch some television with your friends! Practice figuring out the parts of a plot for an episode of your favorite tv show.

See you Monday!
