01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

A story has events in an order. Words such as first, because and finally connect events and reasons. A character’s choice can change what happens next.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
