Let's talk more about conflict! #3

Now that we have finished reading the first five chapters of Christmas Jars, we are well into the story, and hopefully enjoying it! All the elements of a plot are equally important in weaving a good story, but the conflict(s) in a story certainly play a big part in adding to our enjoyment.

Think about some of the conflicts that have been presented so far in Christmas Jars. You will need to:
1) Select a conflict and
2) Identify and explain what type of conflict it is.

It has been so much fun getting to be a part of reading Christmas Jars with you! It's one of my all-time favorite books. See you soon!

Characters in Conflict #2

I know you have been very busy reading your independent books with the end of this grading period just two weeks away! Since you have been learning about the different types of conflict that can occur in a story (individual vs. individual, nature, society, technology, supernatural, and, of course, individual vs. self), I thought it would be fun for you to tell me about the type(s) of conflict in the book you're reading!
So, this week I want you to:
1) identify the title and author of your book
2) identify the type of conflict in the story and give me a little bit of background about what's going on
Since I haven't been there at school, I'll be anxious to see what you've been reading. If everything works out, I'll see you via Skype on Friday. Until then, be good!
Mrs. H.
