Classroom Note:
Story Telling – Formation Of Story
Every good story has three main parts:
First, the beginning, where we introduce the characters and setting; the middle, where the main events happen; and the end, where the story concludes. This structure helps the story make sense and keeps it interesting.
Lesson Evaluation:
To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:
- Name the three parts of a story.
- Give an example of an event that could happen in the middle of a story.
- Explain why it is important for a story to have an ending.
