  1. Elements of plot 6th grade language arts

  2. Unit objective • Students will understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of fiction and provide evidence form the text to support their understanding. • What does this mean? • TEK 6.6

  3. Today’s learning goal • We are going to be creating a flip book in order to help us summarize the elements of plot development. TEK 6.6A • These elements include: exposition, rising action, climax (turning point), falling action and resolution (denouement). • Not sure what these are? That’s ok! We will learn them together!

  4. Plot • What is plot? • Any ideas? Raise your hand! • Plot is the sequence of events, cause/effect, conflict and relationships that exist in a story. • In other words, it’s the storyline.

  5. Plot A plot will consist of these 5 main elements: • Exposition • Rising Action • Climax or Turning Point • Falling Action • Resolution or Denouement • We organize and visualize these elements using a plot map.

  6. Plot Map • It will look like this:

  7. Exposition • Every story must have a beginning. The start, or exposition, is where the characters and setting are introduced. • During this part of the story, the conflict or main problem is also introduced • This includes the “where, who and what” of the story.

  8. Rising Action • This includes at least 5 major events that lead up to the climax of the story. • Remember, these are events that help make a difference in the story. That’s what helps to make them “major events”.

  9. Climax orTurning Point • This is the “high point” in the story and usually involves a physical conflict or intense, emotional struggle. • It is the main event or danger that the character faces. This is the darkest moment, the worst challenge the character must oppose. • At this point it looks as if the character will fail, and will never get what he/she wants.

  10. Falling action • Following the climax, the story begins to slowly wind down. Falling action shows the result(s) of the actions or decisions the character has made. • This is where the story comes to a close.

  11. ResolutionORDenouement • The resolution, also often called denouement, which is French for "to untie" or "unraveling", is the conclusion of the story. • Here, the conflicts are resolved, all loose ends are tied up, and the story concludes with either a happy or sad ending.
