Earlier this week, you mapped out the plot of another author's story. Today you are mapping out the plot of you own story! If you haven't finalized your topic yet, today is the day to make a decision.

Remember, 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​
