  1. Plot—the main events of the story told in the order they occur in the story. 1st stage: Exposition: this stage provides the groundwork for the plot. Think—what is the reader exposed to; what characters are introduced; what conflicts are discovered?? List these in your notes.

  2. Plot—things have to be told in the same sequence as they happened in the story. 2nd stage: Rising Action: as the story progresses, complications arise, things get more difficult for the main character. List these complications in your notes.

  3. The Plot graph __/\__ 3rd stage: Climax: The turning point of the story; the moment when interest and intensity reach their peak. Usually, an important discovery or decision is made. Find the climax in your story and put that in your notes.

  4. Plot—finishing up. 4th stage: Falling Action: These events occur after the climax. Usually, the stress is relieved, the difficulty becomes less, the main character has found some way to succeed, or to go on, even though he may have lost his battle in the conflict.

  5. Plot—the ending. 5th and last stage: Resolution: Not just the ending, but how will the main character(s) continue in their lives? Will things be ok? What conditions is the main character left with? What lessons are we taught? What will we believe about life now? Does this story effect our life and how we see the world? (This feeds into THEME)

  6. Plot surprises—look for them! Subplots: Small plots that have their own story within the larger story they occur in. These can have all the elements of plot within them—exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. Can you find any in this story?
