Lesson Title: Evaluating the Plot of a Narrative
Activity 1
Instruction: Read and uderstand the text comprehensively.
I. Background Information for the Learners (Brief discussion

of the lesson. Cite examples if possible).
What is a Plot?
• Plot is the chain of connected events that make up a narrative. It refers

to what occurs in a story and is one of storytelling’s major pillars. Some
will say that if characters are the who and theme is the why, then the plot
is the what of the story.
• It is not a series of random incidents. Generally, there must be a cause-
and-effect relationship between the events and the plot points.
What are the elements of a Plot?
One of the most prevalent theories for a universal plot structure comes from German
novelist Gustav Freytag, who proposed a five-stage architecture for all stories:
• Introduction: This is the beginning of the story, where characters

and setting are established. The conflict or main problem is introduced as well.
• Rising Action: Rising Action which occurs when a series of events build up to
the conflict. The main characters are established by the time the rising action
of a plot occurs, and at the same time, events begin to get complicated. It is
during this part of a story that excitement, tension, or crisis is encountered.
• Climax: The moment of peak tension in a story — in other words, what
everything else builds up to.
• Falling Action: The bridge between the climax and the resolution in which
subplots and mini conflicts are resolved.
• Denouement: the wrapping up of the whole story.
Here are some illustrations that simplify the Plot Organization:
Chronological Order
of events
• Sometimes, in the middle of the story, a character remembers what happened
in the past and begins telling it. This technique is called “flashback”. This
technique/ literary device is used by the author/writer to help readers better
understand present-day elements in the story or learn more about a
character.
Here is an example of a flashback memory inside a superhero’s thought-process:

A superhero is struggling to figure out where his nemesis would keep a hostage.
Suddenly, he remembers his nemesis saying, “Dark things happen in dark alleys.”
He hurries towards a hidden alleyway.
In this scene, the flashback is the memory of the nemesis saying something. The
memory serves to guide the hero in the present with a clue pulled from his past.
• There are also stories that begin in the middle and then through a series of
flashbacks that tell what had happened in the past. Then the story proceeds
to the conclusion. This technique is called in medias res which means “in the
middle of things. In this technique the story begins in the middle.
In medias res illustration
Example:
Dante Alighieri’s narrative poem The Divine Comedy. Starting the

protagonist off in the middle of a dark wood with no explanation for how he got there
or why, the reader, sharing in the confusion, immediately feels for this character,
and wants him to find answers. This creates an emotional investment for the
audience, who will continue to read in hopes that the hero figures out how to escape
his current situation.
