Beginning : Introduce the setting and characters. This part can be descriptive with lots of adjectives. The pace is quite slow and can be written with sentences linked with connectives or conjunctions.

Problem : The villain or monster is written about in detail here, and the reason for the problem explained. The pace is quicker, although there is still description of the problem and the effects of it.

Journey : In this part of the story we introduce the hero. The story picks up more pace as the hero heads towards the problem, adjectives become less and the sentence length is shortened leading into the next part.

Good Vs Bad : The hero faces up to the problem. This part of the story is the most exciting. It is fast paced and written with short sentences to carry the reader along with the story.

Solution : The hero has found a way to overcome the problem, and is able to solve it. The story begins to slow down again at this point.

Outcome : The writer explains what happens now that the problem has been overcome. Again, the story is slower with longer sentences, connectives and descriptive writing.

Reward: The hero returns and is given a reward for solving the problem that had been faced.
