Learn the skill

Start with the character and situation. Put the problem or main action in the middle. End by showing what happened after the action. Listen to the sentences read aloud if that helps.

Worked example

Beginning: Bo builds a tower. Middle: a block falls. Ending: Bo adds a wider base and rebuilds. The ending responds to the middle rather than starting an unrelated event.
