What I Have Learned

I learned that CHARACTERS are the persons, animals, or things personified the story.
I learned that the PLOT is the main structure of the story. It is a series of events in the
story.
I learned that SETTING is the place, time, weather condition, social condition, and mood
of a story.
I learned that CONFLICT is the problems or complications in the story.
I learned that the THEME is the central message or the lesson in a story.

I also learned that these elements are important for me to learn because the elements
add artistic value and make a story complete and sensible to help the reader appreciate it
better.

What I Can Do
Realizations
1. Before, I used to believe that a setting in
a story consist of place and time only but
now I realize that there are more of them.
2. I thought that in a plot I can identify
anything but there’s an element to follow.
3. I just realize that the character that
changes the story is called dynamic
character.
4. I realize that the character that remains
the same or does not undergo changes
during the story is called static character.
5. I thought that a theme is cannot be
expressed in a sentence in the story.
Commitment
In the next story that I would read, I will
identify where the weather condition and
social condition is.
I now know how to identify the parts of a
plot clearly.
I now know how a character will react to
events in the plot depends on his or her
characterizations or character traits.
I now know how to understand the
character’s personality and motivation in
the story.
I now know how to find the longer phrases
that embodies what a story is trying to say.

the story that
you enjoyed
most
Plot The element of the story
that I enjoyed most is the
plot because it is the
most important element
of a story. The plot is the
trunk which all the other
elements of a story grow.
Without a plot, there is
essentially no story,
nothing at stake. There is
no reason for a reader to
read, since there is no
tension and no reason to
keep going.
of the story
that you find
difficulty in
learning
Setting The element of the story
that I find difficult to learn
is the setting because
sometimes I don’t know
where or when the action
is unfolding and I will get
discombobulated and lost.
And as a journalist, it is
vital to know the
journalistic questions of
who, what, where, why,
and how so that I can
visualize the events that
are conveying. It is
important to establish a
setting in a story, so that
the readers can visualize
and experience it.
