Notes on Plot Development!

What is a plot? 

A plot is the organised 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.

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.

Rising Action: 

This part of the story begins to develop the conflict(s). A building of interest or suspense occurs.


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 come way.


Falling Action: 

All loose ends of the plot are tied up. The conflict(s) and climax are taken care of.

Resolution: 

The story comes to a reasonable ending.
