LA+13+September


 * //So, most of you watched the [|Grinch] yesterday, as we reviewed the idea of plotline formulas in short story writing. Today we'll finish any of it that you missed and get to work on your plotline assignment. Remember that you will need intro, conflict, 3 examples of rising action, crisis, climax (answers the conflict), 2 examples of falling action, and conclusion. If you have the chance, feel free to decorate.

Remember...

1. Conflict begins the action of the story, and causes you to ask "What's the big question in this story?" 2. Climax answers that question. It relieves the tension created by rising action. 3. The crisis is the 'edge of your seat' bit. Cliffhanger stories end at the crisis. Ever get that anxious feeling when you see "to be continued...."? 4. 'Denouement' is cooler to say than 'Rising Action'.//**
