Case: Summative Ownership
Tests are a nightmare to many students, specifically diverse learners. I would like to give my students in literature more liberty to apply applications learned inside the classroom at home or across content. Students struggle with applying the literary analysis of short stories. I would like them to apply what they have learned to other materials than just reading a story. What are some ways teachers can incorporate analyzing plot structure other than reading?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending upon the grade level, students can create puppet shows or skits in order to show plot structure. This is a fun activity for students to get to work as a team, and it can teach them to create a structured plot. You could make students create the plot in written format before creating the other pieces of the project. Then after discussions and revisions, they should have a good plot to create their performance around. Students will enjoy working with others and presenting in this way, and they will be more likely to open up in a class discussion during the presentations as plot structure is discussed for each performance. |

Comments: I think this is a great suggestion and solution. I would have never thought about creating a puppet show in order to teach structured plot. This has to be because I teach high school economics. However, by creating such a fun and meaningful activity, students will certainly have a great reference point in future discussions and activities that involve analyzing plot structure. |

Comments: That does sound like a good idea to get students involved. Although it is depending on the grade level. |
