Skills building 1: plotting a story
1. In this section we’ll learn about the plot of a story and the three parts, exposition, complication and resolution that a story usually contains; and learn what to notice when reading a story; and try to put what you’ve learnt into practice by putting different parts of a story in the correct order.
Do you like reading stories? What kind of stories do you like reading? Why? What are the common elements in stories? (Most stories tell what happened, when and where it happened and who was involved in it. )
There is usually a plot in a story that tells readers what happens to the character(s) in the story.
2. Read the three points on the top of page 12 in this section to see if you’ll learn something from it.
