Any story can be mapped onto a plot graph. This particular chart includes the mountain shape of a traditional plot graph. Each element of plot is labeled on the page and surrounded by a box to make the words stand out. Learners write in the title and author as well as the plot events that correspond with the labels and a favorite scene from the story.
