THIS IS THE WAY WE CHART OUR PLAY! Once upon a time, There live a Protagonist/Hero whose name was: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This character looked like this: (List a few things about the character’s appearance.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ And behaved like this: (List a few things about this character’s personality.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we first meet this character, their objective is: (This is what the protagonist wants BEFORE they meet the antagonist.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

THIS IS THE WAY WE CHART OUR PLAY! And the reason for this objective is: (Why does this character/protagonist have this goal?) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now, there also lived an Antagonist/Villain whose name was: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Who looked like this: (List a few things about this character’s appearance.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ And, behaved liked this: (List a few things about this character’s personality.) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

THIS IS THE WAY WE CHART OUR PLAY! And the antagonist’s/villain’s objective is: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ And the reason for this objective is: (Why does this character/antagonist have this goal?) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This creates a big problem/conflict for the protagonist, so they want to: (write the Hero’s/Protagonist’s new Objective here. This is where the Hero has the moment of decision.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ And, the reason for this new objective is: (Why does this character/protagonist have this new goal? ) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
