This English Language Arts
activity- Fiction's Physique- enables Middle and High School students to
develop their comprehension and reasoning skills as they show- in writing and
orally- a story's buff or flabby qualities.
Teachers should offer this lesson after students have finished reading
the story. When they have completed this activity, students will reveal the
buffness of their thinking skills from knowledge through evaluation.
This activity allows them to show their understanding of all aspects of
the Elements of Strong Fiction as well as their comprehension of the various
aspects of the story.
Here is the How the lesson should be taught from the Teacher Notes:
·
Introduce the activity by reviewing each Element of Strong Fiction (Vivid
Details, Depth of Character, Descriptive Settings, Captivating Plots, Realistic
Dialogue, Unpredictability, Originality, Emotions, Believable Endings and
Purpose).
1.
Before class, write each of the ten elements on
the board, leaving space for student responses.
2.
Give each student a card with one of the ten
elements written on it.
3.
Allot them five minutes to find an example of
their element and to write it on the board under the corresponding topic.
4.
Discuss the answers
·
Review the activity’s directions by reading them
orally and then checking for understanding.
·
Give students time in class to work on this
activity. Suggestion- 30 to 45 minutes,
depending on their skills and abilities.
·
Students
may either finish this activity in class the next day or as a homework
assignment. Teachers choose their desired option, depending on their students’
skills and abilities and their objective(s) for the activity.
·
The day that the activity is due, write the
elements of strong fiction on the board again, randomly assign each student two
topics, and then ask them to write one of their examples under each of their
assigned elements.
·
Alternate Lesson: divide students into pairs or
trios. Give them class time to complete this activity, instructing them to
divide up the elements as they choose. Follow the previous bullet for sharing.
·
Each
student must complete the Fitness Analysis segment.
