Exploring Plot Development in Literature

Are you looking for generic literature study resources that can be used with any piece of literature your class is reading? Teach Starter has you covered with our extensive range of novel study worksheets!

This particular worksheet allows students to explore the events which help propel a story forward.

The plot in a novel progresses because of the decisions and actions of the main characters. If a character decided to handle a situation differently, it could change the whole course of the
story. Using this worksheet, students are required to:

1. Decide on an important event from the class novel.
2. Discuss the decisions made by the main characters during the event and how they affected the outcome of the story.
3. Suggest how the events could have been handled differently and how this may have changed the plot of the story.
