Literary conflicts are important for students to be able to identify as they read stories. The conflicts that the main character faces help drive the story forward. In this activity, students will create a storyboard illustrating examples of literary conflict in Lily's Crossing. Having students choose an example of each literary conflict is an excellent way to reinforce the lesson, and gives the students a chance to creatively show what they have learned.
Character vs. Character: Lily is extremely upset and angry at her father for leaving, even though she knows it is what he has to do.
Character vs. Self: Lily constantly feels guilty about her lying but cannot seem to stop.
Character vs. Nature: Lily is up against high waves and rough sea when she sets out to rescue Albert.
