- point out, and explain, significant moments in the story, tone, setting(s), etc. 
- explain the character development - in other words, how do the characters progress from the beginning of the story to the end of the story? Think about character characterization from the PowerPoint. 
- explain the meaning of the story; use quotes and connections for this
