Story Plot      

Section 4.2 of the text discusses in detail the importance and the various types of plot we see in the stories we read.  Successful stories are those that have an identifiable plot or sequence of events (Coats, 2013).  Our understanding of the types of plot will help us to better identify the kinds of stories our future students gravitate towards.  For this post, you will complete “The Seven Basic Plots” chart, which is available in your online course.  You will choose at least two children’s books that fit into each plot category.  A title may fit into more than one category, but you must choose at least two books for each plot type.  Then, briefly discuss how knowing this information will help you choose literature for your classroom.
