Analyze a piece of a favorite novel and build a template that breaks down how it works #kidlitcraft 2/6
For example, Paragraph One of HAZEL WOOD vividly brings to life a belief or memory that reveals something about protagonist’s personality and voice AND is relevant to novel’s main theme. #kidlitcraft 3/6
Paragraph Two builds on the backstory in para one and uses the last sentence to deliver a detail that sets up a problem. #kidlitcraft 4/6
Paragraph Three pays off the set up in the first two paragraphs with a dramatic problem that is relevant to the larger story and builds empathy for protagonist, using details that create intrigue and foreshadow what is to come. #kidlitcraft 5/6
