Every story has 4 basic story elements: a hook, a theme, an arc and beats. When you write a children's chapter book, however, you need to add 2 more: a story ladder (the story arc within each chapter) and the point-of-view (unlike books for older readers, children's chapter books usually have one narrator per chapter.)

In Lessons #1-6 , you will learn to identify these elements in other people's stories. Then you can use them as you write your chapter book in Lessons #7-12 and the Next Chapter Workshops.
