This is a worksheet that students can use to identify the elements of a plot in a story. They can also use it to create a plot for a story they are writing. It asks them to identify the conflict, characters, main events of the story, climax and resolution.
I teach students with mild disabilities at the high school level and I love how easy this is to use with each story we cover. We do a great deal of unique activities and this makes the finished product neat and easy to grade.

Help
As long as I can remember I have been a creative person. Beginning early on I was always involved in arts and crafts projects at home and in school. At the age of 13 I began more formal training taking varying classes in illustration, commercial art and crafts. At the age of 16 I began on the job training in commercial art. I continued my education at California State University Long Beach receiving a Bachelors Degree in Art. After receiving my Art degree I went to work for an Advertising agency. I began as a graphic designer and worked my way up to an Art Director. After working in an advertising agency for more than 15 years I decided I wanted to do something more worthwhile. I had a teacher who really a positive role model in high school. I began volunteering in her graphic design class working with the students on projects. After volunteering for two years I decided I wanted to go back to school to get my teaching credential. After I received my , I began teaching in middle school. I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade Language Arts, Social Studies and Read 180. I have also taught 7th and 8th grade art. After teaching at middle school I moved on to teaching art at the high school level. I teach all levels of art including Art 1, Art 2, Art 3, Art 4, AP, and Computer Graphics. I hope to be a good influence and inspiration to my students.
