4. ENG 520 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: In Module Four, you will submit a draft of your
story’s scene breakdown and analyze parts of your story. These
pieces will help to complete the bigger
picture as you keep working toward the completion of all story
elements in the final project that will come together in a full
story plan.
Prompt: Using your knowledge about the protagonist you
developed during Milestone One and in Module Three’s Proust
Questionnaire, begin this milestone
assignment by composing one to two sentences that very simply
answer this question: Who is your protagonist, and what is his
or her objective or goal? Your
entire plot outline will subsequently demonstrate how that
character achieves his or her goal.
Next, write a scene breakdown. If you are writing a novel, then
you may write chapter summaries. If you plan for your story to

5. be a shorter work, a narrative
poem, or a screenplay, then you should focus on the appropriate
progression of scenes. The format that you choose to present
this in is up to you; you may
write either summary paragraphs or an outline. (This portion of
the milestone should be single-spaced.) These scenes should
include as much detail as possible
at this time. To showcase your creativity, it is important to
avoid weaknesses such as clichés, telegraphing, and deus ex
machina in these plot points. All of your
scenes within the story should flow together and build upon one
another as the story progresses, clearly showing the rising
tension and resolution.
Next, identify which scenes from your outline contribute to the
following five significant points that occur within your story:
exposition, rising action, climax,
falling action, and denouement. Make sure you briefly discuss
what happens to your character(s) in these scenes to satisfy
these identified story elements.
From this, explain how your scenes continue to build tension
throughout the piece and culminate in your denouement or
resolution. Lastly, describe the conflict
that occurs within the story between your established
characters. What is the conflict and between whom does the
conflict exist? How does this conflict impact
the characters in your story?
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
your protagonist’s goal or objective in your story.

previous scene, and describe how
the scenes are connected as a whole.

and how do they build up

whole? How are these tensions resolved within the story?
