Literary conflicts are often taught during ELA units. Building on prior knowledge to achieve mastery level with our students is important. An excellent way to focus on the various types of literary conflict is through storyboarding. Having students choose an example of each literary conflict and depict it using the Storyboard Creator is a great way to reinforce your lesson!
Everyone at Camp Green Lake must be very careful not to come across a yellow spotted lizard. If they are bitten, they will die.
Kissing Kate becomes an outlaw after the townsfolk kill Sam.
Zero hits Mr. Pendanski with a shovel because he is mean to him, and calls him dumb.
