Setting, Episode, Character Response and Resolution “Flip Book” Created by: Beth Frisby & Christina Quattro Haralson County Schools Template by: LaWanda Dalton

Directions: Through the completion of a large flipbook, students identify and examine elements of plot and characterization by pairing settings from the book with specific episodes and character responses to show how the plot unfolds and the characters change over time as well as the resolution of conflict. If the book you are reading with students features a variety of settings and episodes with characters that change over time, use the blank template to create a large flipbook that corresponds with your book
