What characters appear in these pages? Are they important to the story?

Character /Page # / Relationship to Catherine? / Important to story? How?

What happensin your timespan? Mark with a check anything that is important (I) to the plot (P) or character (C) development.

EVENT / I / P / C / Explain…
i.e. Catherine starts a journal. / / / This is important to the plot because Catherine tells the story through this diary.
i.e. Master Lack Wit arrives as a suitor. Catherine blacks her teeth and sticks mouse bones in her hair. / / / This shows that Catherine is strong willed and wants to make her own choices in life..
i.e. Catherine does weaving and sewing. / This is not so important because Catherine is forced to sew and weave often.

How does Catherine change or grow in this timespan? What does the reader learn about her?

Look back over what you have written and (1) star the events that are most important. Then (2) star new characters who are important to the story.

NOW, list the EVENTS (a minimum of 5) you are going to cover in your timeline. These should be a combination of plot points, character development, and/or new characters.
