Week 3 Elements of Literature: Plot, Setting, and Mood

This is review for many of us, but practice always makes perfect.  We took notes, read a variety of sample text to identify and analyze ELEMENTS of LITERATURE:
  • Plot
  • Flashback/Foreshadowing
  • Internal/External Conflict
  • Setting and Mood

ALSO...

We focused on using a simple formula to analyze plot.

Somebody wants...but...so... (but...so..., but...so.., but... so...)
  • Somebody=Character
  • Wants...But...= main conflict
  • So...= rising action begins the series of events
