Ordered stories

Fellow speaker,

Your stories occur in this order:
  1. Abstract - tell your audience generally what will happen
  2. Orientation - sets up the ongoing situation before your story begins
  3. Crisis - a problem, need, situation that must be solved
  4. Evaluation - shows how serious the crisis is
  5. Resolution - the ending of your story
  6. Coda - what happens after your story ends
Ordering stories,

Tim
