With your homework, identify the actions that took place in the story.

a.      What actions caused these actions and in turn caused others?

b.      How did you use actions to tell the story of this incident?

c.      Did you tell the story in linear sequence, or was there a reason to tell some parts of the story out of sequence?

d.     What role, if any, did chance, coincidence, accident, fate, the weather, or dumb luck play in the story?
