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:

  1. Name the three parts of a story.
  2. Give an example of an event that could happen in the middle of a story.
  3. Explain why it is important for a story to have an ending.
