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.)

This gives the reader important information about the setting, the characters, and the conflict at the begining of the story.

The time and place of the story

the characters important to the plot

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.

This is when a problem or conflict triggers the action in the story.

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.

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.

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

After reading the story, reflect about the message or lesson can be learned from it.
