In Unit 4, you began thinking about a story you might want to write. This is called a narrative. In your planning, you should have come up with a way to begin your story, using a hook to grab your reader's attention, giving a general idea of what your story is about, introducing the characters, and describing the setting. You also came up with an outline to help plan out how your story will progress.
***YOU DO NOT have to turn in a full narrative essay for this assignment. You need to turn in two things:

● A completed flow chart (see below) that shows the plot outline for your story, showing specific events you would include in the EXPOSITION, RISING ACTION, CLIMAX, FALLING ACTION, and RESOLUTION.
