STORY ELEMENTS:
The 5 Elements Of A Story:
1. Setting:
The setting is basically the ‘when and where’ of the story. It
refers to the physical location and the time period in which
the story takes place.
2. Characters:
Characters are the ‘who’ of a story plot. Depending on the

story’s type, characters are usually humans or animals. But
when talking about elements of a story for kids, characters
may be non-living things, such as toys or books.
3. Plot:
The sequence of events in a story is called a plot. It is the

‘what’ of the story and consists of a beginning, middle and
end. In most stories, the plot begins with a problem and
leads to a solution.
4. Conflict:
Every good story requires conflict, which can be referred to

as a problem or challenge necessary to drive a story’s
action.
5. Theme:
The theme is the idea, moral, or underlying insight that the
plot of the story conveys. It can be referred to as the
‘message’ of a story.
