Here's how to think about it:
* Before the turning point: The story is building up, like the roller coaster slowly climbing the first hill.
* At the turning point: Something exciting happens that makes the story go in a new direction. It's like the roller coaster plunging down the big drop.
* After the turning point: The story continues, but it's different now. The characters face new challenges or make new decisions.
Here are some examples of turning points:
* The lost puppy finds its way home. (The turning point is when the puppy finds a way to get home)
* The princess meets a friendly dragon. (The turning point is when she realizes the dragon isn't scary)
* The team scores the winning goal. (The turning point is when the goal is scored and they win the game)
The turning point is important because it keeps the story interesting and exciting. It makes us want to know what happens next!
