Talk PLOT to me!

For the next few weeks we will study the literary elements of plot. You will learn key academic vocabulary that pertains to plot, and analyze the short story "Duffy's Jacket" found in our Holt book. Learn it now, use it forever!! My goal is to teach you how to talk plot in a literate and articulate manner. It's going to be a GREAT week in F108!
