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.
1. Exposition
• This usually occurs at the beginning of a short story. Here
the characters are introduced. We also learn about the
setting of the story. Most importantly, we are introduced to
the main conflict (main problem).
2. Rising Action
• This part of the story begins to develop
the conflict(s). A building of interest or
suspense occurs.
3. Climax
• This is the turning point of the story. Usually the
main character comes face to face with a conflict.
The main character will change in some way.
4. Falling Action
• All loose ends
of the plot are
tied up. The
conflict(s) and
climax are
taken care of.
5. Resolution
• The story comes
to a reasonable
ending.
