11. New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you did this assignment? I learned that one element of the story which states the sequence of events is called plot. I knew that plot has different parts which are the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution and these are defined in the previous slides. They are just like step-by-step from knowing the conflict, struggling with it until the character solve his or her problem. I also knew how to make a story knowing its elements and identifying the parts of the plot of the story. NEW INPUTS 1

12. This reminds me of… Connect the new stuff you learned to events in your own life. As I believe that everything is connected to everything else, I had found this assignment having a connection to my life. I realized that my life is a long story which is being made by God for it is composed of different elements just like what the stories have. One proof is that I encountered different problems in my life in terms of my studies, family, friends and at the end, I will realize that there is always a solution in all the problems. I guess God is such a good writer. CONNECTIONS 2

I know that everything that I learned, learn and will learn will greatly help me for my future. I will now always base my life on a story line for I know that my life is a long story being made by God. This lesson made me realized that I have to be always positive because there is always a solution in every problem. I will use this lessons also as when I am tasked to make a story.
