Students complete nine sentences about story structure — what the beginning introduces, how the middle builds tension, and what motivates a character. The matching activity pairs setting, conflict, climax, and resolution with their definitions: where the story happens, the main struggle, the most exciting moment, and when the problem is solved.
Matching story structure terms to definitions reinforces the narrative framework students apply when planning and drafting.
