After we read Red at the Bone in class, you will map out the story's plot.

To simplify matters, let's say each story needs five elements:

1) Exposition​

Sets up the story​

Introduces characters and conflict​

2) Rising Action​

Series of scenes to build conflict and tension​

Continues to build characters and their relationships and motivations​

Stakes typically get higher and action ​
more intense​​

3) Climax​

Most exciting or intense part of your story​

Conflict blows up and Something Big Happens​

4) Falling Action​

Explores the consequences of the climax - how do characters deal?​​

5) Resolution​

How has the conflict been resolved? ​

NOT necessarily “happily ever after”!​

Often leaves reader with something to think about​
