Now that we have practiced as a group and had lots of time to discuss, you are going to do a plot structure assignment on your own.

Choose a short youtube clip, vimeo short film, short story, or commercial (perhaps from the Superbowl this past weekend) and create a presentation to identify the six plot elements we have discussed in class, as well as the protagonist and antagonist.

Choose a method of presentation. Options include: Prezi, Exploratree, Storybird, ichart, or PowerPoint..

You must include a brief plot summary to tell what the story is about, identify the following plot and character elements, and explain how you identified the elements.

• exposition
• initiating event
• rising action
• climax
• falling action
• resolution
• antagonist
• protagonist
