A common use for Storyboard That is to help students create a plot diagram of the events from a story. Not only is this a great way to teach the parts of the plot, but it reinforces major events and help students develop greater understanding of literary structures.
Having students create a Maniac Magee summary will ensure they grasp important events from this story.Students can create a storyboard capturing the narrative arc in a work with a six-cell storyboard containing the major parts of the plot diagram. For each cell, have students create a scene that follows the story in sequence using: Exposition, Conflict, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution.
Jeffrey becomes an orphan, and is forced to live with his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan. He can no longer stand living with them, and runs away.
Jeffrey bounces between East End and West End, trying to find a place to call home.
Jeffrey performs many impressive feats and earns the name "Maniac".
Maniac blurs the lines between blacks and whites by bringing Mars Bar to the McNab's home.
Maniac is disappointed by the behavior in Two Mills and is upset that he can't fix the problems himself; he is alone and unsure about the future.
Maniac befriends Mars Bar and moves back to the one place he truly feels at home - with the Beale family.
