Types of Conflict In Literature

By Katherine Docimo

Storyboard That is the perfect way to engage high school ELA students, and teach them to identify types of literary conflict. Visual cues in storyboards bring heady concepts, such as Man vs. Society and Man vs. Self, down to earth through “comic-strip” style illustrations and captions.

Storyboard Text

  • Everyone in my town does ______________ a certain way. But what if there is a different way?
  • Never!
  • That's ludicrous!
  • But it's tradition!
  • Let me explain!
  • A protagonist sees something in a unique way.
  • People in his town or culture don't like his way of thinking. His bold ideas diverge from tradition or the rules. They ridicule and threaten him. He is compelled to act.
  • Our hero may convince the others he is right, but he might be forced to flee town. He may even lose his life.
