Story Writing - Conflict

We started our story writing unit by deciding on a theme. Then we figured out 3-5 stories we could tell that illustrate that theme.

Now, you need to decide on which one story you're going to tell to illustrate your theme, and figure out an example of each of the three types of conflict we studied today:

• person to person
• person to nature
• person to self

See you tomorrow!
