Plot can get boring after teaching it multiple times throughout the year. I saw on a teacher blog that a teacher drew a rollercoaster onto chart paper to represent the Beginning, Middle, and End of a story! We used sentence strips and card stock to make our carts. They wrote the beginning, middle, and end on lined paper and put it underneath their rollercoasters. Next year, I am going to have them add wheels to their carts and maybe have a person hanging out of one. :)
