Part of Lesson Plan: Elements of Story: Introduction Three Act Structure

Activity Overview / Details

Following the screening of the episode, students are put into small groups of three to discuss the four thoughts listed above. The student groups are prompted to delegate a speaker and will then share answers to each of the following questions with the entire group. Teacher will record student responses on the white board/smart board.

Following the shared discussion, which communicates the student’s prior knowledge on the topic of “story”, teacher then begins a short lecture on the elements of story and three-act structure so that the students can then begin to connect the specific elements to the observations made in the screening.
