**Summary of the Plot** Your short summary should consist of 3 paragraphs

1st paragraph – Introduce the main conflict of the story. The paragraph needs to contain at least five sentences. Please read the following example which you can use as a model. Example:

The Misfits is an inspiring story about four kids that are tryng to stop name-calling. These four kids are Bobby, Addie, Joe, and Skeezie. They call themselves the Gang of Five. The story is about a school-wide election and how the students are forced to join the Democrats or Republicans. Deciding they don’t fit in either party because of what their peers judge them by, they create a new party called “The No Name Party”.

2nd paragraph – Write about 3 or 4 main events that happen in the rising action. The events should go in order. This paragraph needs to contain at least five sentences. Example: All of the previous school election winners have been pretty, popular students. The Gang of Five decides that this year is going to be different. So, they create a new party, The Freedom Party. Unfortunately, the principal doesn’t agree and stops that party. Then Bobby gets an idea. With the gang’s help, Bobby’s idea gets put into action. His idea is to start a secret party called The No Name Party. To start with, the gang makes a list of all the seventy-two cruel names they have been called. Then they hang posters around the school with all the names they have been called with a red line through them.

3rd paragraph – Write a paragraph telling the climax and resolution of the story. This paragraph needs to contain at least 5 sentences. Example: One day they are called to the principal’s office. He tells them an anonymous teacher saw them hanging the posters on the walls and reported them. After a bit of motivation, the principal agrees to the No Name Party. The day before the students vote, Bobby gives a heart-touching speech that makes you stop and think of all the names you have been called and all the hurtful names you have called other people. The next day arrives and the gang of five realized that they have lost the election and came in a close second. They were o.k. with it because even though they lost the election, there was a No Name Day that eventually turned into a No Name Week. They realized that they’re not misfits or dorks or fatsos, but they are like everyone else with a touch of uniqueness. Most of all, they made a huge difference.

=Evaluation= Did you like the book? Why or why not? When you fill out this section be honest and support your answer with at least 3 reasons. Do not begin your first sentence with the words “Yes” or “No”. Example: The Misfits was an awesome story. The book kept my attention, and I had a difficult time putting it down. I loved how the characters came alive to me and how I could relate to their problems. I would recommend this book to any middle school student, boy or girl. =Links= Choose one of the following: 1. Link to a site that you think one of the main characters would like. In one or two paragraphs, explain your choice. OR 2. Link to a site that provides helpful background information on the text.
