Pytash: Chapter 4

I really liked this chapter. I agree that if students learn to identify literary elements they will understand the text better.  I like how this chapter lists the most common  elements of fiction.  I also think Freytag's Pyramid is very important.  If students learn how to map out a story it will give them a way to think about the story.  They will have to think about what they are reading so they know how to map it.  I also think it is important to give students a list of the different literary terms so they can get to know that language.
