This project is designed for fiction books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We needed to work on plot maps. I had not done enough work on rising and falling action thorughout the school year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though we had spent plenty of time on character traits, I still felt like the skill of identifying character traits was mastered. Too often, students would want to put a response like kind with the reasoning &ldquo;because they were nice&rdquo;. I was really trying to get students to identify solid evidence that supportive the specific traits that were chosen. I also had a list of traits students could not use &ndash; I wanted words that held a little more power when others read them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, we were continuing our journey with Leader in Me. Because of this, I wanted students to connect the reading with two of the habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found requiring evidence when identifying a connection to a habit was a great way to discourage the use of AI when completing a project. Most of the time, students cannot ask a search to identify a habit a character displayed and also receive text evidence in the response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the final project, I copied the design on larger paper. The final products were amazing! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-scaled.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-1024x664.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-2048x1327.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-960x622.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-1080x700.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/book-in-a-blink-2-1-1200x778.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -
