About This Product

This is an ideal first homework assignment for my middle school students, designed to assess their grasp of the elements of plot. It can be utilized at any point during the year and with any book, movie, TV show, or personal experience. This assignment is straightforward, encourages creativity, and results in impressive displays of learning.

I encourage students to create their own plot diagrams based on any narrative they choose — be it a book, movie, TV episode, or personal story. These plotlines serve as excellent tools to teach or review key plot elements such as exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Included are editable directions, rubrics, and templates to suit various classroom needs, all aligned with CCSS RL #3 standards.

Included in this resource:

  • PDF version (ready to print)

  • Editable PowerPoint presentation

  • Student directions (fully customizable)

  • 3 plotline templates (for additional student support)

  • Teacher guide sheet (minimal preparation required)

  • Editable rubric (adjustable to fit your criteria or ready for immediate use)

  • Student exemplars to share and inspire

This engaging, hands-on resource is available now, featuring an editable PowerPoint so you can tailor requirements and rubrics to your students’ needs, or simply use the provided materials. It's as easy as print and go — have fun!
