Original PromptAOR.1.1 Explain how setting and conflict cause characters to change and how conflict(s) contributes to plot development.
This resource focuses on analyzing the interplay between character, conflict, and setting in narrative storytelling. It discusses how various settings influence characters' conflicts (both internal and external) and ultimately drive character development and plot progression. The document includes a worked example using Ebenezer Scrooge from 'A Christmas Carol', illustrating how the cold, fog-filled setting of Victorian London impacts his internal struggles with greed and leads to significant character growth. It also provides a graphic organizer, The Growth Map, for students to map connections between setting constraints, conflicts, and character evolution in their own stories. Additionally, it offers reflective questions and a structured writing frame to guide students in analyzing and articulating their understanding of character development influenced by conflicts arising from their settings.
