I used a method that sounded very similar (although never the butcher paper part and the focus on symbols, which is brilliant!); it was from Susan Dennard's website. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you broke down books you loved using the same method; I feel like that is such a good way to learn. (And delightfully nerdy.)
Oh man, I loved this post so much! I took a Suspense class with Caitlin last fall and it was such a massive help. She's a wise and generous teacher, and I'm so glad this post exists!
