watch the video and answer question what should you track as you read the story

3 answers

I'm unable to watch videos, but I can help you figure out what to track while reading a story. Here are some elements you might consider monitoring:

  1. Characters: Note the main characters, their traits, relationships, and development throughout the story.

  2. Setting: Keep track of the time and place where the story unfolds; how it influences the narrative.

  3. Plot: Outline the main events, including the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

  4. Themes: Identify the central themes and messages the author is conveying.

  5. Conflict: Take note of the main conflicts (internal and external) that drive the story.

  6. Narrative Perspective: Consider the point of view (first-person, third-person, etc.) and how it shapes the reader's experience.

  7. Writing Style: Pay attention to the author's voice, tone, and any literary devices used (metaphors, symbolism, etc.).

  8. Character Development: Monitor how characters grow or change throughout the story.

  9. Emotional Impact: Reflect on how different parts of the story make you feel.

  10. Foreshadowing and Symbols: Look for hints of what may come later and any recurring motifs.
