There are four parts to a story.

1. The setting is...

• where the story takes place;
• it can also be when your story happens (like in the past, present or future).

2. The Main Character

• The main character is on almost every page.
• Sometimes you can have more than one.

3. The Problem

• Most stories have a problem that the main character has to solve.
• Sometimes there can be little problems on the way to solving the big problem.

4. The Solution

• That's how the character fixes the problem.
• In good stories, the main character figures out how to fix the problem him or herself.
