  4. 1. Exposition • This usually occurs at the beginning of a short story. The EXPOSITION reveals 3 things to the reader: • The main characters (including the protagonist and antagonist)are introduced. • The setting of the story. • The reader is introduced to the main conflict (main problem).

  5. 2. Rising Action • This part of the story starts to develop the conflict(s). • Events in the RISING ACTION build interest and suspense. • Create YOUR OWN definition for RISING ACTION.

  6. 3. Climax • MOST INTENSE or EXCITING part of the story. • Turning point of the story • The protagonist (main character) faces the conflict and changes in some way.

  7. 4. Falling Action • All loose ends of the plot are tied up. • The climax is over. • Usually, there is less falling action than rising action. • Now create YOUR OWN definition for FALLING ACTION.

  8. 5. Resolution • The story comes to a reasonable ending. • This is usually when the conflict is solved.
