| What role does a problem play in the progression of a story? | Move the story forward, acting like a crossroads which allows for the elements in the story to develop further | Different characters react differently to this problem, the professors work to ensure the safety of the students, several students choose to prepare to go home, while Harry and Ron decide to go in search of the Basilisk and save Ginny.

And as readers, since we experience the story through Harry’s point of view, we experience his reaction to the problem. The problem must: - be presented such that it makes sense in the context of the story. - Well set up and backed by the key events. It must have an impact. The function of the problem is to: - Move the story forward, acting like a crossroads which allows for the elements in the story to develop further. | 671 | definition | 1.000 | https://cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/Circulars/2024/31_Circular_2024.pdf | The function of the problem is to: - Move the story forward, acting like a crossroads which allows for the elements in the story to develop further. | 6 | page=6,block=2 | ||

| What does the process of brainstorming help a writer achieve? | record your initial thoughts and ideas | Every story starts with an idea or maybe multiple ideas that merge into one. The first step in the writing process is to select one core idea from which a story can grow. A great technique for this is brainstorming. Brainstorming allows you to record your initial thoughts and ideas. Say, for example, you would like to write a story on the Indian cricket team winning the world cup. You can note down all your ideas in a graphic organizer, such as this one: After you have an idea, you can flesh it out with details, which could include the story elements explained above. Once you have an idea in place, you can begin to work on the structure of the story and create a draft. Usually it takes multiple rounds and revisions before a story is finalised. | 244 | relationship | 0.970 | https://cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/Circulars/2024/31_Circular_2024.pdf | Brainstorming allows you to record your initial thoughts and ideas. | 8 | page=8,block=5 | 0.700 | valid |
