key features (over-simplified but easy to understand version)

> orientation: sets the scene and introduces characters

> complication: a problem arises, usually a problem for the good-natured protagonist

> series of events: the problem attempts to be resolved and the story develops

> climax: the emotional, heightened, crux of the story - maybe a death or sad predicament or overwhelming good event occurs - whatever seems well, climatic

> resolution: the problem is resolved - not always in the correct way but the problem at least subsides...

Keep in mind that this year you should be expanding in greater depth for a selection of the texts.

You may also have an epilogue which describes the fate of the characters some time after the event has been concluded.
