Planning a story

LO: to be able to break down a story into beginning, middle and end. To recognise character and setting descriptions in a story.

WHAT DO WE KNOW?

What is a setting?

  • a place or type of surrounding

What is a character?

  • a person in a book or a novel
  • knowing the character can help the reader understand the story.

The character

You get to know the character through the way they are described. This can be with literary techniques. Looking at the characters personality and actions can also help you get to know the character, and understand the story.

The setting

The setting helps to create the atmosphere and set the scene.

Breaking it down.

All stories have a beginning middle and end. By looking at these three parts we can break the story down. This is called the story structure.

Structure

Beginning: The beginning of a story is where you introduce your readers to your style, setting and characters. Often a writer will give his characters a problem to solve. This keeps the reader interested, as they'll want to find out what happens.

End: In the end you tell readers exactly what happens to the characters and how they solved the problems you gave them at the start.

Middle: In the middle you develop your story. The reader begins to ask more questions and starts to learn what will happen to the characters.

Today...

Today we will look at different stories, looking at the structure, characters and settings in each story.

We'll think about the literary techniques the writer uses to describe the setting and charcters.

We will also pick out key words that tell us what heppen in the beginning, middle and end of each stroy.
