Lesson Content

Story Telling – Formation Of A Story

Every good story has three main parts: the beginning, the middle, and the end.

What is the beginning, middle, and end of a story?

The beginning, middle, and end are the three main parts of a story that help to organize the narrative and make it understandable.

The following are the parts of a story:

The beginning introduces the characters and setting. We learn who the story is about and where it takes place.
The middle shows the main events; characters face challenges and make decisions.
The end concludes the story; we learn what happens to the characters and how the story resolves. This structure helps the story make sense and stay interesting.
