I have been teaching for 21 years. I am endorsed to teach English (grades 8-12) and Fine Arts (grades 1-12). I currently teach Film, Graphic Design, and Advanced Placement 2D Design. For 17 years I have taught 9th-12th grade Literature courses which consisted of World, British, and American studies. I have taught Advanced Placement Literature and Composition for 12 years. My goal is to create quality, detailed, editable resources that teachers can use to fit the needs of their students.

(0)
ITEMS INCLUDED: *The Plot Structure of Films: POWER POINT HANDOUT and ANSWER KEY *The Plot Structure of Films MATCHING QUIZ and ANSWER KEY *The Plot Structure of Films FILL-IN-THE-BLANK QUIZ and ANSWER KEY *The Plot Structure of Films: POWER POINT (30 slides) (PDF file included) *The Plot Structure of Films POWER POINT QUIZ (21 Slides) (PDF file included) I recommend using this activity at the beginning of the year. Once students have the film language to discuss the structure of film, they have a foundation to begin analyzing films, as well as writing their own screenplays. GREAT FOR LITERATURE COURSES. As you cover the material, you could stress that the terms that they are using and the structures they are learning apply to the structures of short stories and novels. Editable Microsoft PowerPoint document files are included (version 2003 .pptx files)
