Plot
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Plot | The events that occur in a story make up the plot, or story line. Most fictional works contain five elements (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.) |
| Exposition | This gives the reader important information about the setting, the characters, and the conflict at the begining of the story. |
| Setting | The time and place of the story |
| Main Characters | the characters important to the plot |
| Conflict | the problem in the story |
| Rising action | A story begins with a series of events that happen to a character that create the conflicts. The rising action leads up to the climax. |
| Initiating event | This is when a problem or conflict triggers the action in the story. |
| Climax | The rising action leads up to a climax when there is much action, with sometimes a surprising turn, and becomes the turning point of the story. |
| Falling Action | The falling action are the events that happen after the climax when the characters solve the problems caused by the conflicts. The reader knows how the story will end. |
| Resolution | A synonym for this word is denoument. The conflict is resolved and the loose ends are tied up. The reader has a sense of closure at the end of the story. Clue: the word "solution" is within resolution |
| Theme | After reading the story, reflect about the message or lesson can be learned from it. |
