STORY MAP

To keep track of all the things happening in the novella ETHAN FROME, you might want to fill in a story map as you continue reading. Here's an explanation of what it is and of how to do it. 

Here's a copy of an empty work sheet that you can use if you want to. However, you might prefer to create your own.

And here's another way of writing the story map. Choose the best solution for you. 

THE EFFECT OF THE FRAME STORY

Listen to the avatar, and then do the task that she tells you to do. Please discuss this with your peers before you create your avatar. 


Here is the text if you find it easier to read as well:

Hi. I’m one of your online teachers.

I’m going to give you an exercise to do. It has to do with the frame story in Ethan Frome. Try to identify and discuss the ideas and images that appear in both the inner and the outer story.  What effect do you think the frame story structure has on the novella? Go to www.voki.com and let your avatar tell us your answer. Don’t forget to give the embedding code to your teacher so that she can upload your answer to our blog!

EXPOSITION - a quiz
