Tenley Harden, Education Director at Aspen Learning, presents a video tutorial on teaching plot summary to middle school students. The lesson begins with a warm-up using movie log lines to introduce the concept of plot conflict. Students then engage in creating mind maps to visualize plot elements such as characters and settings. The lesson progresses to a collaborative activity where students create plot summaries and log lines for 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. The video concludes with a summary and encouragement for continued learning.
