Thriller!

This week, we are working on learning the individual parts of plot summary and how they relate the overall story to the reader. What better way to understand plot than to watch Michael Jackson's "Thriller"?!

 There is a full plot line throughout the video, but it's important to understand that the very first part of the video, where Michael turns into a werewolf, is merely a movie that "real Michael" and his girlfriend are attending, so that would all be included in the introduction.

It's easy to think that the story starts there, but it actually doesn't start introducing the characters until Michael and his girlfriend are inside the movie theater and she walks out because she's too scared.

Use the following chart to fill out the plot summary:
