This diagram shows how to structure a three-element story. There are
four options. Option 1 is to place all three story elements in paragraph
one, with the remainder of the story being background and supporting materials
that elaborate on those elements. Option 2 involves placing the most important
element, A, in the first paragraph, with elements B and C in the second
paragraph, and the remainder of the story being background and supporting
materials. Option 3 involves a brief summary of the main elements in the
first paragraph, followed by the most important element, A, in the second
graph, the next most important element, B, in the third graph, and the
third most important element in graph 4, followed by background and supporting
materials. Option 4 begins with the most important element, A, in the
first graph, the next most important element, B, in the second graph,
and the third most important element in graph 3, followed by a brief summary
and then background and supporting materials.
