You may begin typing your adventure story on this document. Be sure to describe the setting and describe your characters in the beginning. Next, you will introduce the conflict. You will build the rising action by describing at least three events that make the conflict worse. Then, the most suspenseful moment is the climax or turning point! After that, the falling action tells how they start to fix the conflict. Finally there is a resolution, where the conflict is resolved.

We are also intentionally adding in literary devices like figurative language, natural dialogue that helps the plot, and character development. Check that you have spelled most words correctly. Read it aloud to make sure you have written complete sentences and that your punctuation makes sense. 

Have you indented the paragraphs? Did you replace your own creative title?
