🏔️ Builders: The Story Mountain

A fully interactive B1.1 Teens storycraft lesson that teaches narrative architecture — the five-stage story mountain and the one-sentence premise pitch. Students begin with four warm-up questions about how their favourite stories work, then study a three-box Story Mountain Toolkit: The Five Stages (setup → problem → climb → peak → resolution, each with a worked example and the rule that the problem must grow), The Premise Pitch (the trailer formula 'It's about [character] who wants [something], but [problem]'), and a Plot Map table of planning questions for each stage. Ten key words (setup, problem, climax, resolution, character, premise, plot, tension, twist, hero) appear in a scrollable table with full B1 definitions and examples, and six become review flashcards. The reading is a Builders' Studio session in which Aylin plots her story 'Lila and the lost dog' up the mountain with help from Priya, Marco and Sam, showing every stage and a finished premise in natural context, with hover-tooltip vocabulary. Practice includes 8 single-word fill-in-the-blank items naming the stages (setup, problem, peak, resolution, premise, character, twist, climb) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking Pitch Circle with five prompts and a six-line model pitch between the cast; a guided 40-70 word writing task plotting a chosen story on the mountain with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz mixing story-structure questions with two reading-comprehension items, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
