 * THEME 3 **

Let's start analyzing our final task. All your Units are built around a story. Therefore that will our first focus. Stories and Story-Telling

But Stories are not the same. Thought they all have the same elements: **Characters**, **places**, and **events (**it is what we call a **plot -**through it, the plot we deal with a theme) as well as a similar sequence: Beginning middle and end, they've got a different structure.

But stories might be __**simple**__ ( one character, based on description and a sequence of physical actions or events which can be physically evidenced)

Some stories have a __**cyclical structure**__ ( we can see how the same event is repeated once and again with slight differences - changing one character, places or objects)

media type="custom" key="25845608" Others are **__linear stories__**: there are different events which area joined in the end as a conclusion, including -as an option- a moral:

Sometimes they are only required to predict and check ( it might be funny! ) media type="custom" key="25845676"

We can use Narrative in our lessons to get them free from fear
