View together the "Jack and the Beanstalk"


Plot Diagram. Record each of the elements using
the Plot Diagram Interactive Tool. While this may
seem elementary, fairy tales are frequently used
at the secondary level to help students more
easily see plot structure. Students can also work
in small groups in the computer lab. If Internet
access is limited, the teacher can read aloud the
tale, students can brainstorm events, and the
class can diagram the plot on the board or on
paper.

Freytag’s Pyramid uses a five-part system to describe a story’s plot. This graphic
organizer matches the way stories are constructed: The climax is the high point,
and it’s surrounded by rising and falling action.

Freytag’s Pyramid is often modified so that it extends slightly before and after the
primary rising and falling action. You might think of this part of the chart as similar
to the warm-up and cool-down for the story.
