         <description><![CDATA[The title is your story's first impression! It should be catchy and give readers a hint about what's to come. For example, 'The Mysterious Garden' creates curiosity, while 'A Day at the Beach' sets the scene.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[The orientation (or introduction) answers the 5W1H questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. It introduces your main characters and establishes the setting. Think of it as painting the background of your story!]]></description>

         <title>Building Tension</title>

         <link>https://padlet.com/poh_siew_khim_serene/1cia5wwdanwflnit/wish/3279926945</link>
         <description><![CDATA[After orientation, we begin building tension through rising action. This is where we introduce the problem or conflict. For instance, your character might discover their favourite playground is being demolished, or they've lost their younger sibling at VivoCity!]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Remember, conflicts can be: Person vs Person (bullying), Person vs Nature (surviving a storm), Person vs Self (overcoming fear), or Person vs Society (standing up for what's right). Choose conflicts that your readers can relate to!]]></description>
