Description

". . . to make the language of literature useful to readers, students need to practice using academic vocabulary in ways that deepen their understanding of how stories work." To that end, Jago offers a review of Freytag's Pyramid and an example of how work with the concept of plot structure positively affected student understanding and writing.
