Story Structure's Contribution To Meaning Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: RL.7.5
An event in a story can be many different things. Events can cause a permanent change in a character's life or change the entire setting of the story. A story is made up of several different events. When an event ends or takes place, this is often the climax of the work. The way in which events unfold, to the reader, are termed the plot. Every author takes a different approach to structuring a story and often doesn't use the same structure that often. These worksheets will help students understand how a story is structured.
