  4. Plot (definition) • Plot is the organized pattern or sequence of events that make up a story. • Every plot is made up of a series of incidents that are related to one another. At the heart of any plot is the conflict.

  5. Conflict • It is either internal or external conflict • Internal Conflict: a struggle within a character’s mind • External Conflict: a clash between a character and an outside force, such as another character, society, or a force of nature

  6. 1. Exposition • This usually occurs at the beginning of a short story. • Given background information on the characters and the setting of the story. • Most importantly, we are introduced to the main conflict (main problem). • AKA- the Narrative Hook

  7. Narrative Hook • The narrative hook sets the rest of the story in motion by beginning the rising action. • It is a primary conflict, but probably not the only one.

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

  9. 3. Climax • Turning point of the story and moment of greatest suspense. • Usually the main character comes face to face with a conflict. The main character will change in some way.

  10. 4. Falling Action • Eases suspense. • Reveals outcome of climax. Shows how main character resolves the conflict. • The conflict(s) and climax are taken care of.

  11. 5. Resolution • The story comes to a reasonable ending and all loose ends of the plot are tied up. • Protagonist has solved the main conflict.
