In the activity, the students will take the
five major story mapping elements -
exposition, rising action, climax, falling action,
and resolution - and map out the events of
the story.
To wrap everything up I would have a few students share what they found to be the elements of the different elements of the story.
The pre-test will be a matching test of terms and definitions. If this lesson plan was used as an intro to story mapping, it would be a good gauge to see where the students are. After they completed the pre-test we would go over it as a class before continuing on with the lesson.

Visual: Reading the story, matching the terms and definitions on pre/post tests.
Kinesthetic: getting up to get their coloring supplies. If the pre-test was on the smart board, it would also be Kinesthetic.
Tactile: The use of sticky notes for the definition of the elements of a story allows the students to move things
around on their paper and draw their roller coaster however they please while making sure that they still have the essential five elements.
