Kavi Plans a Story
"A good story has three parts," said Kavi. "In the beginning I tell who and where — One day, a little owl sat in an oak tree. In the middle comes a problem — but his kite got stuck! In the ending the problem is solved — so a kind fox helped him get it down. Beginning, middle, end — let's plan one!"

A peek inside
Watch me plan a story. I want to write about a lost puppy. The beginning tells who and where: One day, a puppy played in the garden. What part should come NEXT — a problem, or the ending?
beginning → then a problem in the middle → then the ending
Try this at home: What three parts does a story have?
