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!
