CONTENTS AND NOTES

The following are all contained within this product. These are suggestions for use.
FOCUSING ON CHARACTERS
ONE
This worksheet is intended to be a ‘character log’. It contains boxes for students to make notes
on various characters in a literary work, prompting them to think about descriptions of characters,
important quotes, how other characters respond to them, etc.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE: I will either give this to students before we start studying a novel (they
keep the pages in their books and fill in as we meet new characters), or, if using it for writing, I
give it to students before they write their stories.

LITERARY ELEMENTS
TWO

This worksheet covers the five main elements of a story – plot, characters, setting, conflict and
theme. Students can either complete this worksheet when analyzing a literary work, or when
planning their own writing.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE: I find that this works well as a paired work activity when studying a
novel or short story. However, I also find that it works well if enlarged to A2 size, and filled in as a
group activity (and then displayed with other work on the novel).

FOCUSING ON NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVE

THREE

This worksheet guides students through analyzing the narrative perspective of a piece of writing.
It could be used to help students deeper their understanding of the effect of the narrator in a
piece of literature, or to help students think through their own choice of narrator when writing.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE: At any time when studying a piece of literature, I use this worksheet to
help students focus on analyzing the narrator. This could be done individually or in pairs.  

FOCUSING ON THE PLOT STRUCTURE

FOUR

This graphic organizer serves two purposes: Students can use it to plan their own plot structures
when writing a story, or it can be used to guide analysis of the plot structure of a piece of
literature.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE: As this worksheet really helps students to think deeply about the
various elements of plot structure, I often give it to students and instruct them to fill it in about
one of their favorite films – this helps solidify their understanding of the elements involved.

THINKING ABOUT SETTING

FIVE

This worksheet is the barebones of a mind map. Students have to make notes on this page,
adding to the branches, and extending it. This worksheet can be used either for planning a
setting for writing, or for analysis of a setting in a literary work.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE: As this page works for both writing stories, and for literary analysis, the
use will differ. However, I generally use it as an individual activity. Although, I must add that it
works well if enlarged to A2 or A1 size, and filled in as a group-work task.
