This document provides instructions for a webquest on Freytag's Pyramid. Students are divided into groups and instructed to create a PowerPoint presentation answering questions from websites about Freytag's Pyramid. The questions guide students to learn about Gustav Freytag, the origin and purpose of Freytag's Pyramid, and its components. Students are asked to reflect on what they've learned and how it could benefit close readings of literature.

1. Freytag’s Pyramid
