Flowers for Algernon

• Plotline Assignment
• Isnt it A-MAZE-ING?

2

• As we have seen, the plotline to Flowers For
  Algernon is based on Charlie Gordons operation
  and intelligence.
• As we read the story, we can use a plot line to
  chart the intro, rising action, crisis and climax
  based on Charlies intellectual development.

3

• On a new sheet of paper, sketch out a plot line
  for FFA. You can begin by filling in intro
  (setting, tone, etc). This may be in point form.
• Tip1 Begin with JUST the intro and Rising
  Action. Theres a lot to fill in, so you may not
  have room for the rest on one slide.
• Tip2 Use a text box w/ 12pt type to make it
  fit.
