5 Date Five Elements of a Story "Five Things" Learn more about this topic! Each section gives more detail on one of the lyrics from the song. Read each section, and then respond by answering the question or taking notes on key ideas. Lyric: Setting, that's like where it's going down, Notes The story's setting could be in space in Setting is all about when and where. It could be a specific time and place, like Brooklyn, New York, in the summer of Or it could be more of a description, like, a crisp, chilly autumn morning. Location, time of day and weather are all part of a story s setting. The best setting descriptions are full of details and often include at least some of the five senses in what they describe: how a place looks, smells, sounds, feels (the mood ) and...if it s a setting in a castle with candy walls...tastes. Lyric: Plot is the action, the quest for satisfaction, Notes Part of the plot of Romeo and Juliet is when they fall in love. Plot is the term for the events that make up a story and how they relate to each other. The plot is sometimes called the storyline. Take a familiar story like The Three Little Pigs. What s the plot? Three pigs decide to build houses out of different materials. A hungry wolf comes along and blows the first two houses down. When he can t blow the last one down, he tries to get the pigs another way. They end up getting him instead. The plot should give you a good sense of what the story is about and often includes the conflict, the climax (the most exciting point that the story builds up to) and the resolution (when the conflict is over). 1

6 Lyric: Oh, it's the characters, Notes Harry Potter is a main character in the story. A character is simply somebody in a story. Everyone in the story is a character! The characters and their actions are what move the plot along by doing things. Even when characters don t seem to DO much like a couch potato brother who sits around playing video games all day they still give you a lot of information. The main character is the most important person in a story. There are also secondary characters the action doesn t revolve around them, but they can often be the most memorable. Characters usually have traits. These are details about how a person acts, what they look like and what they might do. A character could be redheaded and shy. Another character could be 100 years old and a lover of skateboarding. Lyric: Something gone wrong! That's the conflict, kids, Notes A struggle in the plot is a conflict. A conflict is a problem in a story. There are the things that the main character wants or needs to do, and then there are the things that get in the way of what he or she wants to do. That s usually the conflict. If somebody wants to go on a trip, but doesn t have the money to pay for it, that s a conflict. If somebody needs to go to school every day, but there s a ghost that keeps tripping them in the hallway, that s a conflict. 2

7 Lyric: Could be an internal conflict Notes Many characters have both internal and external conflicts. There are internal conflicts and external conflicts. An external conflict is a problem that comes from the world around a character. A neighborhood bully, a thunderstorm when you want to go to the beach, those are external conflicts. Then there are internal conflicts those that happen in your mind. If you find a $100-dollar bill on the street in front of your house, do you keep it or try to find out who it belongs to? If a character is struggling with something, he or she has an internal conflict. Lyric: The theme of the story is the main idea, Notes One theme of the books in this series is that there is often a blurry line between good and evil. The theme of a story is the main idea. It goes beyond the specific details of the story and is about a more universal idea that the story has at its core. In a story about a kid who s graduating from high school and starting college, there could be lots of details about his life now and what his life will be like in the future. He s excited about the future, but he s sad to leave behind his hometown. The theme for that story might be growing up also known as coming of age. Other themes that get used a lot in stories are friendship, loyalty, courage, loneliness and freedom. 3
