Discussion: Your initial discussion thread is due and you have to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

Story Plot

Section 4.2 of the text discusses in detail the importance and the various types of plot we see in the stories we read. Successful stories are those that have an identifiable plot or sequence of events (Coats, 2013). Our understanding of the types of plot will help us to better identify the kinds of stories our future students gravitate towards. For this post, you will complete the chart "The Seven Basic Plots." You will choose at least two children's books that fit into each plot category. A title may fit into more than one category, but you must choose at least two books for each plot type. Then, briefly discuss how knowing this information will help you choose literature for your classroom.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates' charts, and respond to at least two of your peers. Choose two elements from Elder's critical thinking model, presented in the Niewoehner article, and discuss how your classmates can use these elements to assist their students with a better understanding of the plot in the stories they identified.
