Types Of Resolutions

Resolving Narratives #8

Worksheet Description

The “Types of Resolutions” worksheet focuses on educating students about the different ways a story can be concluded after the climax. It outlines five distinct types of endings: resolved, unresolved, expanded, unexpected, ambiguous, and tied. Each type is explained in terms of how it affects the story’s closure and the reader’s experience. The worksheet encourages students to consider which kind of resolution they might choose for their own stories and to justify their choices.

This worksheet teaches students about the variety and implications of narrative endings. It guides them to understand that the way a story concludes can significantly impact the reader’s satisfaction and perception of the story. By presenting different resolution options, the worksheet encourages students to think critically about how to effectively conclude their narratives. The ultimate goal is for students to be able to select and craft an ending that aligns with their story’s objectives and themes.
