Story Elements: Audio Plot Diagraming
You know that fictional stories typically follow a sequence- a.k.a that Plot. You know that we can imagine a mountain where the characters and setting are introduced, the events take place, a climax arises, falling actions occur, and a resolution is made. Authors use this format to create stories using words in abook. You are going to use this concept and create stories in another way.
It is your job to use plot and create an audio only story using recorded sounds and Garage Band. These stories will follow a plot diagram and will use only sounds, leaving all words and images behind. Be creative, tell a good story, and have a boat load of fun!

As the anthem, We Shall Overcome, plays in the backround, feel the goosebumps as MLK gives his dramatic speech that inspired millions that day and continues to inspire today! If you click on We Shall Overcome, you can hear Bruce Springsteen's version of the same song from more recent times. Awesome!
