We finished the first act of The Diary of Anne Frank on Friday. We had a discussion today about subplot, internal conflict, and external conflict. The students have a packet of discussion questions that I would like done for Wednesday, tomorrow.
I gave students another set of questions to finish the play.
This chart shows the external conflicts with red arrow. The conflicts will become more apparent in Act II of the play. The chart also shows what we thought were some internal conflicts, what the characters struggle with inside. The blue lines are subplots, stories within stories. I think the Anne and Peter circle is the only major subplot. The others aren't really stories as much as conflicts or butting heads.
