Effect On Themes

Worksheet Description

The “Resolving Narratives” worksheet is an educational tool that prompts students to delve into the thematic and conflict resolution aspects of their stories. It asks them to articulate the theme of their story, identify the main conflict, and describe the method of its resolution. Furthermore, it challenges students to reflect on how their story’s resolution can be both surprising and inevitable, and to consider how the resolution underscores the story’s theme.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the essential components of narrative structure and resolution. It instructs them to critically analyze and articulate the core message of their story (the theme), to explore the dynamics of the story’s central conflict, and to conceive a satisfying resolution. Additionally, it pushes students to balance the elements of surprise and inevitability in their endings, ensuring that their resolutions are coherent with the story’s progression and enhance the thematic message.
