RUN+Strategies+SJ

1. First complete the **chart below** comparing the narratives of the two stories. How does the story start? || Teacher gets students attention by turning on and off the lights to tell the students to bring a picture in || An elephant appears. A person describes a place where elephants go to. ||
 * Copy the information below and paste it onto a new wiki page that you create called RUN //initials//.)**
 * || **Happy Thanksgiving Gus ...** || **Assignment America ...** ||
 * What is the opening situation?
 * What is the problem of challenge that is posed? || He can't think of something he is thankful of. || Elephant to dog friendship and relationship ||
 * How does this create conflict between characters? || Billy is annoying Gus a lot || It doesn't create a conflict.


 * When the dog is hurt the elephant cannot be with the dog.** ||
 * How is this resolved? || Billy leaves because he falls in the mud. || It isn't resolved in the video

What has changed? || Opening situation he needs a picture and at the end he has one. || the dog and elephant are foot to foot. It is different because it is not a person describing the place. || How is this achieved? || no you see it from one person point of view( narrator). There is no words with I or we but names of the people. || You see the story from different point of views because it is from a narrator, dog ( kinda), and elephant (kinda). ||
 * The dog is brought down to the elephant to spend time each day until the dog is healed.** ||
 * How is the closing situation different to the opening situation?
 * Do you see the story from one character's point of view?

2. Then, by paying particular attention to the visual images in the stories and the ways in which these provide clues to the meaning of the stories, write a paragraph explaining how you "read" the stories to get the full meaning of each of the stories. You may find it useful to consider some of these factors: //**Feliz dia de Gracias, Gus!**// **Paragraph Here**: I read this story by seeing it in Spanish and English to understand it more. Many things showed me and helped the video better in examples of color, type of shot, and framing. The color and framing was painted or handwritten which was shows a lot of interest because I like handwritten drawings. There were many types of shots which were the pictures in the story which would have helped non native Spanish speakers.
 * color
 * framing
 * composition
 * size
 * type of shot
 * subject matter
 * setting
 * lighting
 * pose
 * text (or voice)

I read this story by looking at the images and hearing what the guy is saying. The setting is more eye appealing because it shows a dog and elephant interacting together. I liked this story because it shows meaning in it from the color and framing which helped it become better more. Also this story had many types of shots from begging to end and in the middle they showed the elephant and dog interacting together.
