Day #6 Thursday 3/12

Now it’s time to focus on the event(s).

Task 1: Color code your story. As a groups scan the story and highlight
three parts using the color scheme below:

Pink-Exposition either background on your soldier or background on the battle

GREEN-Rising action All of the exciting parts-the parts that are the
action of your story

BLUE-Falling action everything that happens after including what
happens to your soldier and what happens in a military sense.

If the focus is on the rising action we need to determine the start(THE INCITING INCIDENT)
and the finish of it (THE CLIMAX).

As a group identify climax--find that spot in the story and draw a thick line under it.

Now identify the inciting incident and draw a thick line under it.

Reread the middle now-(the action between the inciting incident and the climax). Place
events from that portion on stickies.

Place stickies in order on the rising action part of the plot diagram you have drawn.
Think about the ordering of the info. How will you tell your story?

Now sit with each other in front of your diagrams and retell the story with dramatic flair. 

HW: Read your WWII books or work on your IR project.
