4.In the fourth box write a feeling sentence to support the topic. 5.Then go back to each square and write in several detail sentences about the first sentence you wrote in the box. 6.Finally use your Four Square pre-writing to write your story. then

Sample: 2. Exposition – Sally is a twelve-year old girl living in New York City. 3. Rising Action – Sally meets and falls in love with Jake, who likes Martha; so she tries to win Jake over by doing crazy things.. 4. Climax and Falling Action– Jake asks Sally to the prom, Jake dances with other girls, and many boys want to dance with Sally and ask her why she cares about such a loser. 5. Resolution – Sally realizes that she is not ugly and decides that Jake is not worth her time. 1. Problem sentence – Sally thinks she is ugly.
