Write a few sentences with your response. Point out specific elements of Gibbs’ talk as you respond.

Now that you’ve learned a bit more about wheat makes a story successful, I want you to go back to Gibbs’ TED Talk and reassess your analysis.
Below are some things you might discuss in a few sentences. When you’re done, respond to at least one (1) other student’s post.
- Identify the parts of her speech that correspond with the points on Freytag’s pyramid.
- How does she introduce us to that world? What details does she tell us?
- What is the inciting incident? In other words, what takes Gibbs out of her everyday life and injects some drama, tension and conflict into her life?
- Name one point in the story where you feel the tension rising (but where we’re not quite at the climax).
- What is the point in the story where you feel the most tension (the climactic moment)?
- What is the fallout (falling action)? In other words, what happens after the climactic moment?
- Was there a lesson learned that she expresses at the end of the video? What is it?
- Think about the overall delivery of the story. Look back at the Tools to Understand/Create Narrative Essays page. What techniques did Gibbs use that were successful in delivering a compelling and memorable story?

This is a second part to the question so it should be on a different document.
