Writing
Plot
I will learn how characters impact a story's plot. by re-writing (plotting) out "Not Norman, a Goldfish Story'" using a different pet.
I will also review plot structure by watching the video.
Directions: Answer the following questions and prompts for the story, "'Not Norman, a Goldfish Story.'"
How would the story be different if the main character received a different pet? What if it was a dog, snake, duck, or something else?
Plot out the events of your story using a plot map. Can't remember what that is? Watch the video!
How did having a different pet impact the plot? Do you think that would happen if you changed a character in each story you read? Why or why not?
