THE OUTSIDERS STORY MAP The story map is much like a graphic version of the novel. You need to review chapters 1-6. As you can see from the graphic, there are six main scenes you need to indentify, so be very thorough with your decision. Which scenes do I do? You need to think as though you are trying to summarize the six key “parts” of the first six chapters to someone who is NOT familiar with the plot. The Story Map is a combination of visual and written summarization. Your images need to be detailed (color). Since the text you are writing is very minimal in comparison to a traditional book report, it needs to be vey clean, to the point, and grammatically correct. Do take into mind our key writing components; conventions, word choice, sentence fluency, and structure. The Literary Term, or figurative language component (at the bottom), deals with evidence of literary devices. These might be, but not limited to:

Foreshadowing Simile Metaphor Symbolism Hyperbole Alliteration Dramatic Irony Protagonist Conflict Rise in Action

If you are using specific wording from the novel, this needs to be in “quotations” and requires the page number. “Stay gold grade 8!”
