8th grade
In assigned groups, students diagrammed the main plot to Gary Soto's "First Love" and listed the subplots. We had a class discussion on the main plot and how and why we diagrammed it the way we did and students also discussed the subplots present in the story. We spent the remainder of the hour finishing up writing the subplots for our own short stories.
Homework: None
