Students can create and show a storyboard that captures the concept of a Five or Three Act Structure by creating either a three- or six-cell storyboard which contains the major parts of the diagram.
Aristotle believed that every piece of poetry or drama must have a beginning, middle, and end. These divisions were developed by the Roman, Aelius Donatus, and called protasis, epitasis, and catastrophe. The three act structure has seen a revival in recent years, as cinema blockbusters and hit TV shows have adopted it. The beginning (protasis) consists of setup, the middle (epitasis) contains conflicts, thwarted protagonist, or complications, and the end (catastrophe) is where fortunes are reversed and the protagonist meets their fate.
