🏔️ Builders: Reading — The Master's Story

A fully interactive B1.1 Storycraft reading lesson from the Builders' Studio series. Students learn to read like a writer through three strategies: the two-pass read (pass one for pleasure, pass two to steal), mapping a story to the five-point story mountain (setup, problem, climb, climax, resolution) to see how the writer paced the action, and technique theft — naming two moves the writer used, quoting the exact lines, and planning where to reuse them (scenic openings in past continuous, feeling beats, dialogue sparks with strong say-verbs). Ten key words (setup, climax, resolution, technique, pace, vivid, suspense, detail, inference, model) come with full B1 definitions and examples, six as review flashcards. The 180-word model story The Last Wave stars Priya and Marco in a storm at sea, with a clear mountain shape and hover-tooltip vocabulary. Practice offers 8 fill-in-the-blank items on reading terms and story details with live validation, hints and scoring; speaking gives five technique-hunt prompts plus a six-line model dialogue; the writing task is a 40-70 word steal-list naming two techniques with exact quotes and placement, against a four-point checklist with live word count and auto-save; and an 8-question quiz mixes story-mountain terms, reading strategy and two comprehension questions on the model story, with progress bar, explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
