I provided organizational ideas and assistance by explaining the relationship between plot and character and theme and genre .Jaydn then referred to our outline and drafted two paragraphs ,one on character /plot and one on theme/genre. To encourage her to continue drafting ,I provided linkage words and phrases where needed . We further explored what ideas might be incorporated into a conclusion which we will work on tomorrow.
