3.1.19 Plot Playlist Introduction

• A playlist is a group or collection of songs selected and organized to fit a specific mood, event, or activity.

• You might create a playlist for exercising or one for when you are feeling sad. 

• Playlists can be the soundtrack to your day's story. 

​

Purpose of a Playlist

​A playlist and a story plot are connected because they both can be used to tell a story, present a theme, and inspire their audience.

• The Plot Playlist Assignment is a way to identify, reflect on, and make connections with six plot points from your literature circle book. You can use songs to create a soundtrack to the story.

• Your plot playlist should:

  1. Describe six plot points (exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution).

  2. Identify six song titles that represent each plot point. As much as possible, the songs should accurately relate to story events.  

  3. Explain why you selected the song to represent that point in your literature circle story.
