Sample Lesson Plan

Name: Trisha Allen

Grade/Topic: 6th Grade ELA

Lesson Name: Plot Diagram

National/State Learning Standard: Arizona’s English Language Arts Standards – 6th Grade 6.RL.3 Describe how a particular story's or drama's plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution.

Academic Language: Exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, plot, plot diagram

Specific Learning Targets/Objective: Students will be able to identify story elements of a fable and defend why they would be defined as exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

Anticipatory Set: Students will watch a brief video that introduces a plot diagram through the Disney movie “The Lion King.” Throughout the video, students will be asked if they can identify other favorite movies (or books) that contain a coinciding element of the plot diagram. Students will use these examples later on in the lesson.

Multiple Means of Representation: Define vocabulary and provide specific examples of these terms in various books, fables, and or movies. Explain that as a story progresses, characters’ actions generally follow a predictable format. Using an example of a recent animated blockbuster movie, have students identify the different aspects of the plot diagram.

Multiple Means of Expression: Students will diagram the plot of a short fable using vocabulary from the lesson. Students will defend their rationale on the provided diagram sheet.
