Instructions: Using the image above, write a story. What do you think is happening in this picture? You may structure
your story however you like, but it should be labeled with an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and
resolution. Use complete sentences.
Example:
Exposition: The people have gathered for a picnic, when suddenly a storm appears. The people quickly begin to pack
up their food and get ready to leave.
Rising Action: From behind a cloud, a spaceship appears. It hovers over the people.
Climax: With a loud crash, a bolt of lightning strikes the nearby tree, and it begins to fall. The spaceship catches the
tree in a beam of light before it can hurt the people below.
Falling Action: With the tree safely lowered to the ground, the people stare at the spaceship. It doesn't do anything
else, just hovers over them, protecting them from the rain.
Resolution: The rain stops just as suddenly as it started. The spaceship disappears, and the people go home.
