According to The Seven Basic Plots, by author Christopher Booker, the actual plots of most stories are not original. Rather, there are seven basic plots that get reused, refreshed, and remodeled - hopefully in original ways.These charts describe the basics of each of these plots and divide them into seven sections each: Exposition, Rising Action 1, Rising Action 2, Rising Action 3, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution.

Over the last few years, I have developed a essay booklet that gives clear guidelines on how to write a proper literary analysis essay.I created it for one of my 9th grade classes, while we were reading The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. I noticed that many of them struggled to create a topic sentence, a thesis statement, etc. So I created this booklet as a guide to show them how to write a proper analysis (you can also use this template to make an argumentative pap

Character Analysis: Creating a Criminal Profile
When approaching Character Analysis, it's always nice to give students a new approach to studying character traits and motives.
When teaching Capote's In Cold Blood and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, I opt to have the students create criminal profiles for Perry Smith and Dick Hickock and choose between Frankenstein's monster or Victor Frankenstein.
The profile still requires students to interpret details and analyze actions, yet introduces them to technical writing. The students really seem to

Holocaust Timeline for Teaching Jewish History Novels
The Holocaust (Shoah) was a unique event in 20th century history. It evolved slowly between 1933 and 1945. It began with discrimination; then the Jews were separated from their communities and persecuted; and finally they were treated as less than human beings and murdered.
During the Second World War the Nazis sought to murder the entire Jewish population of Europe and to destroy its culture. In 1941 there were about 11 million Jews living in Europe; by May 1945 the Nazis had murdered six mil
