Stories help us remember facts.
Stories create an emotional
connection.
Stories influence how we decide.
Stories link us to our sense of generosity.

Step 1The character has a problem
and is seeking to resolve it.
What does the character want?
![Page 25: The Art of Storytelling - ASEC-SLDI · The Art of Storytelling By Amy Fedele, ASEC Web Content Manager Zoe Laporte, ASEC Writing Intern ... What makes a good story How your stories](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042806/5f6e9502356cb310c86b48c1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 2The character encounters a
problem (conflict) preventing
them from getting what they
want.
What conflict is the character facing?
![Page 26: The Art of Storytelling - ASEC-SLDI · The Art of Storytelling By Amy Fedele, ASEC Web Content Manager Zoe Laporte, ASEC Writing Intern ... What makes a good story How your stories](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042806/5f6e9502356cb310c86b48c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Step 3The character has a guide (or
a mentor) that helps them to
solve their problem.
Introduce the guide.
![Page 27: The Art of Storytelling - ASEC-SLDI · The Art of Storytelling By Amy Fedele, ASEC Web Content Manager Zoe Laporte, ASEC Writing Intern ...

Step 4The guide provides a
plan/clarity for how the
character can solve this
problem.
What plan does the guide have?
![Page 28: The Art of Storytelling - ASEC-SLDI · The Art of Storytelling By Amy Fedele, ASEC Web Content Manager Zoe Laporte, ASEC Writing Intern ... What makes a good story How your stories](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042806/5f6e9502356cb310c86b48c1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Step 5The guide encourages the
character to take action.
How does the guide encourage the character to take action?
(If the character is unable, the guide can take action for them.)

Step 6When the character takes
action, the problem will either
be resolved, or the character
needs to dust themself off
and try again.
Was the outcome of the plan a success or a failure?
