Name: _____________________________________________ Date: _________________________________________ 6B- _____ Reading: The Lion and the Mouse SLIDESHOW DIRECTIONS Task : Working with your group, write the plot for Jerry Pinkney’s wordless adaptation of Aesop’s famous fable The Lion and the Mouse. Deliver your version of the story as a slideshow with your text and the original images. Stick to the classic plot structure (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution). Add IMAGERY to describe and bring to life the setting and characters; create tension, intensity, and drama in the rising action as you develop the characters, giving them clear character traits in the process; deliver a powerful EXPLICIT THEME MESSAGE in the climax, stating a universal observation about the theme (main idea) in direct terms; and resolve the story so your readers will learn the new situation after the conflict has run its course. Use the 3 rd -PERSON POINT-OF-VIEW to narrate the story, providing a variety of DAFT (Dialogue, Action, Feelings, and Thoughts). Directions : First complete a plan for this assignment; then make your slideshow. The plan is a handout, which you should complete with your group in class. I’ve made a Google Slides template for you to use for the slideshow; it’s in Google Classroom. Use only ONE slideshow for your entire group. Have ONE group member open this document and then SHARE it with all members of your group, giving each person CAN EDIT privileges. Plan : First, as a group, plan your story by completing a plot structure diagram, in which you and your group members map out the most important events in the story. Make sure you include at least one event for each part of the plot structure (Exposition; RA; Climax; FA; Resolution). Each group member must have the same answers here, word-for-word. Then, individually, complete the two questions on the back of the plan, where you will write your own imagery to describe the setting and characters, and you, independently, will interpret the theme. I’ll ask all students to show me their personal copy of the group’s plot
