Planning before writing, sentence 2
Stories often use a story mountain: the opening at the bottom, the build-up climbing, the problem at the top, then the resolution and the ending on the way down; information texts suit a mind map, with the topic in the middle and a branch for each paragraph.
Who acts: Stories, information texts · What happens: use, suit · To what, where: story mountain, mind map
This is a sentence of the lesson «Planning before writing» of the english course of Mova's primary school.
