Longer short stories can have several sub-plots, which means they may have many conflicts.

This is a handout we used to illustrate the development of many conflicts in the play, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," as it is adapted from an episode of Rod Sterling's The Twilight Zone.

End-of-the-Year Stations

So, the school year is coming to a close. Testing is over, but you still have instructional time. How can you conduct class while still maintaining structure?
Try stations!
Literacy stations that incorporate group collaboration, hands-on activities, and challenging games make for great end-of-the-year review.
There are plenty of board games that involve making inferences, math, and literacy skills.
