What Happen Next?

"What Happens Next is designed to help kids aged 9-12 master the art of constructing stories from beginning to end. Learning the basic components of storytelling is an important element in communication and a skill that will prepare children for success in language classes in high school and throughout their academic careers. Topics covered include: the difference between fiction and nonfiction -- creating characters -- establishing a setting -- inciting incidents -- how to plot a story -- rising action and climax -- point of view -- conflict -- theme -- tone, and -- how to show, not tell. The second part of the book contains templates with over 30 exciting writing prompts with mapping guides for each one." -- Back cover.
