Students will participate in a teacher-led discussion of eighteen terms commonly used in literary analysis and discussion. There are included gifs on each slide (and two video examples) that relate to the term on the slide.
As the teacher goes through the slide deck, share the terms with students, and ask them to volunteer their own examples from other stories/movies/tv-shows/novels. This can be done through turn-and-talk, think-pair-share, or as a whole group.
The terms included are:
- Characters
- Protagonist
- Antagonist
- Setting
- Exposition
- Characterization
- Direct Characterization
- Indirect Characterization
- Plot
- Conflict
- External Conflict
- Internal Conflict
- Inciting Incident
- Rising Action
- Complication
- Climax
- Falling Action
- Resolution
After reviewing & discussing the terms in the slideshow, students can utilize this Quizlet Flashcard Set for Plot to review the terms. With these flashcards, students can also play a matching game. The teacher can also assist students in playing an interactive team-based game called Quizlet Live.
