Plot is the story! The story of your life, the story of your favorite novel, and even the story of this poster. It's all about the plot. The first step to identifying the plot of any story is to know how it's structured. This educational poster helps students identify the basic structure of stories, so they can better understand how their favorite books, movies, and TV shows fit into this structure. As with all of our resources, it is customizable so you can tailor this resource for your class.
