Identify Your Story Elements 🟪 After collecting a good number of facts, it’s time to plan the basic elements of your story. You can begin by identifying the characters, the setting, and the action. A collection sheet like the one below can help you keep track of all these elements. Use your sheet as you write, but feel free to make changes as your story develops.
Collection Sheet
Characters:
(Decide how each character will look, speak, and act. Keep the time period of your story in mind at all times!)
Setting:
(Describe the time and place of your story. Keep the setting historically accurate.)
Main Action:
(What action or event will your character participate in? The details in this part may or may not be true, but they must be believable. The main action should include a problem to be solved.)
