  1. Learning Goals Reading for Information • Objective RI 7.2 • I can identify two or more main ideas in the text. • I can summarize what I have read using facts, not my own opinions.

  6. Plot (definition) • Plot is the series of events in a story that explain to the reader what is happening. One of the easiest ways to understand plot is to look at the mountain shaped plot diagram and think of story in terms of climbing a mountain.

  7. 1. Exposition • Stage 1 - Exposition • Exposition is at the base of the mountain or the beginning of the story. This is where the author sets up the story including characters, setting, and main conflicts.

  8. 2. Rising Action • This part of the story begins to develop the conflict(s). A building of interest or suspense occurs.

  9. 3. Climax • The Climax is the turning point of the story. You have reached the top of the mountain and you cannot go any further, you have to turn and go down. This point in the story is when things finally start to move in a different direction and it may not always be a positive direction.

  10. 4. Falling Action • Falling Action occurs after the climax as things start to work themselves out in the story. You are coming down the mountain just as you are coming down from the excitement of the climax.

  11. 5. Resolution • The Resolution is the solution to the problem as you have reached the bottom of the mountain. The solution might not be what you want, but the conflict has been resolved.

  12. The following literary elements will be discussed as we study: • Plot: The chain of related events that explains to us what happens in a story • Conflict aka "the Hook": A struggle between two opposing characters or forces • Character: A person, animal, or imaginary creature in a story, play, or another literary work • Setting: The time and place of a story • Theme: The general idea or message about life that is revealed through a work of literature
