Story arc
Lesson Outline
I began the session discussing parts of story. I explained the part of a story arc. I then showed a small video clip of a cartoon that Christopher picked out. I paused the video to point out the parts of the story arc within the cartoon. Finally, we discussed the different parts of the story and how they fit in to the "story arc". Christopher used the remainder of the time working on his "multiverse" story that he was writing for another class.
