Objective:  I know what makes up a sports story, and I can identify how the author uses plot and device to impact the story in his own style.
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Organize your note pages into your notebook before we begin.  Be prepared to share the definitions of the terms in the objective.
• Be introduced to the components of a sports story in the prezi
• Follow along to The Thrill of the Grass by W.P. Kinsella
  • In the handout answer:
    • Review plot structure
    • How do the devices impact the style?
• Brainstorm ideas for your own sports story 
  • Choose a sport that you are knowledgeable about (this can be anything—it does not have to be the stereotypical, baseball, football, basketball; think snowboarding, scuba-diving, gymnastics, etc.—the possibilities are endless)
  • Use the chart in your handout to generate ideas for your sports story.  
• Exit Task:  Share your idea with an elbow partner.  Consider whether or not you are invested in this story.  If so, fold the page over in your notebook.
