6th grade ELA dives into elements of plot with a fun twist! Using an episode of Boy Meets World, they’re practicing the plot diagram — breaking down exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It’s all about strengthening comprehension and critical thinking in an engaging, relatable way!
Congratulations to the TOP 10 Student of the Year candidates. Good luck, Griffins!
