The Main Conflict

Resolving Narratives #3

Worksheet Description

The Resolving Narratives worksheet focuses specifically on the concept of resolving the main conflict in a story. It guides students through a structured reflection on the critical elements of narrative resolution, starting with identifying the story’s primary conflict. The worksheet then asks students to describe what occurs during the climax, consider any unresolved aspects of the main conflict or the implications of its resolution, and finally, to think about how they would craft a resolution to tie up any loose ends.

This worksheet is trying to teach students the importance of resolution in narrative structure. It instructs them to analyze the main conflict and its climax, thereby understanding the significance of these elements in driving a story forward. The exercise reinforces the need for a satisfying conclusion that addresses all significant plot developments. It also encourages creative thinking about how to extend the resolution beyond the climax, ensuring a comprehensive and cohesive story ending.
