This week in reading we will be learning about the parts of a plot.  This will include the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.  We will outline the plot of our novels using "plot mountain" graphic organizers.  Students will be able to apply this understanding independently to their own reading.  
 
In ELA, we will begin to outline our first five-paragraph essays.  By the end of the week, we will be working on our introduction paragraphs.
