	Description:		UNDERSTANDING THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF STORY STRUCTURE Inspired by our course, Writing for Children and Teens, we discuss: • A story beginning establishes a main character and a basic situation. • The middle develops a problem or difficulty and builds to a climax, which is then resolved. • The ending concludes the story’s events. • This structure applies equally to a two-page tale for small children and to a 400-page adult novel. • The story problem may not take the form of an urgent conflict or challenge. • Setting up a pre-existing problem. • Conflict as the element that connects a story’s beginning, middle, and ending. • What’s wrong with an identical twin or the old, “It was all a dream . . . or was it?” scenario.
