Framed Character / Plot Chart

This strategy provides an interesting way to deconstruct a text passage and then reconstruct it using a graphic organizer based on a character's motivation. In this example it is modified to include a THEN prompt at the end.

  1. Access / Construct Chart

    Either construct a Framed Character / Plot Chart shown below or access the chart here.

    SOMEBODY  
    WANTED  
    BUT  
    SO  
    THEN
     

  2. Usage

    Use this chart to examine the basics of a historical event, story, or man's impact on the environment.  Focus on  SOMEBODY  (e.g., tribe, culture, historical character), what was  WANTED ,  BUT  what conditions got in the way,   SO  what they did, and  THEN  the results of their action.

    SOMEBODY Pacific Islanders
    WANTED to build a society on Easter Island
    BUT they needed wood
    SO they used up all the wood on Easter Island
    THEN society and environment collapsed
