<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;">Plot</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;">Characters</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;">Conflict</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;">Theme</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;">Setting</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When you're planning your story today...</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">make sure you can identify what's the beginning, middle, and end of the plot</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">who is in the story (keep your characters limited to 5 or less- it's a short story)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">what is the problem?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">what theme is your focus? (this is the most difficult so the next page has a good list to look at)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">where does the story take place?</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Check out this video for some clues as to what each part of your plan will identify.</span></p>
