**__Resources/materials needed:__** ** // A computer with internet access // **

**__ Technology Reflection: __** ** // Classtools is an incredible website loaded with tons of helpful activities to enhance learning. In the context of this lesson, having the students actually create a puzzle in which all elements of their story fit together aids in their understanding of not only their particular piece, but the genre in general. It is also nice to have them manipulate parts of the story (almost physically) rather than only have a mental picture. // **

** // The graph is nice because it functions must as Classtools does. Actually creating a graph particular to their story is paramount. // **

__** Evaluation: **__

//As with all group discussions and workshops, I have to monitor discussion. I will also have to do formative assessments in regards to the implementation and understanding of Freytag's pyramid,//
