Here’s a simpler way to think about the 8 parts of a story:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0HEqI3pJIM

• Beginning: Life is normal.
• The Push: Something happens to shake things up.
• The Journey: The main character goes on an adventure or tries to fix things.
• Uh Oh!: Unexpected problems or new people show up.
• Big Decision: The character has to make a really important choice.
• The Big Moment: The most exciting part, where everything comes to a head because of the choice.
• What Happens Next: The direct result of the big moment and choice.
• The End: Things settle down again, usually with the character having learned something.
