Goal: 100% Mastery Our goal is to create a “cheat sheet” for our own use-a graphic that includes the 5 Main Elements of a literary work, to use as a study aid so that we ALL can achieve mastery of these 5 literary terms! Once we all have submitted our ideas, we will vote on the best representation-the one that is the most helpful in learning the term. We will compile one integrated graphic organizer-our very own study guide-and we will each use it to study for mastery!
