Create the Decision Tree:
When you have decided on the (5-7) five to
seven key events and the single turning point
in the story, map out what you believe to be a
Key Event Tree.

For each event you will have to imagine (2) two

other possible outcomes.
For the actual outcome briefly explain
e.g. Arnold doesn’t bring his .22 rifle
when they go pea picking.

Identify the turning point by writing (2-3) two to

three sentences about how this event changes
the character or plot significantly.
e.g. When Wall-E chooses to place
himself in harms way under the machine to
spot the robot, he isn’t doing it for EVA. He is
acting out of a desire to protect everyone.
