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.

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

13. Usefulness in real situations
 How can you use what you have learned in some
situations in your own life?
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. This will be a guide for me.
