PLOT: there are different parts to the plot; the plot is
the sequence of events in the story; it brings life to the characters. It is the storyline. We use a diagram to plot the story:
1. Exposition: The beginning of a story. The
author establishes the setting, introduces the characters, and gives important background information. (usually the first chapter in chapter book and the first couple of paragraphs in a short story) 2. Conflict: A conflict is a struggle between forces.

There are two main kinds of conflict in stories: internal
and external. Internal : A struggle that takes place in a character's mind is called internal conflict. For example, a character may have to decide between right and wrong or between two solutions to a
problem. Sometimes, a character must deal with his or her own
mixed feelings or emotions. External: A struggle between a character and an outside force is an external conflict. Characters may face several types of outside forces. The outside force may be another character. It may be the community. The outside force may also be forces of nature. For example, a story might be the main character struggling against the arctic cold.
There are 5 different types of conflict:
Person vs. Person: a problem between 2 people. Person vs. Nature: problem with the environment Person vs. Society: a problem with the beliefs or laws of a group of people. (RULES) Person vs. Fate: a problem that the main character has no control over Person vs. Self: a problem deciding what to do or think (within the character) 2. Complications: events or problems that make the conflict worse. 3. Rising Action: events that lead toward the wow moment or the climax, the drama is increasing
4. Climax: the turning point of the story, the
WOW moment, the most exciting part of the story 5. Epiphany: Moment of ah ha for the main character, when the main character realizes a life lesson 6. Falling Action: the events that come after the climax, the story is slowing down and the drama is stopping 7. Resolution: how the character deals with the information learned, when the conflict or problem is solved POINT of VIEW: The view from which the story is told. 1. First Person: the main character is telling the story, Uses words like: me, I, us, we 2. Second Person: directions (uses the word YOU) 3. Third Person: the story is told by an author, uses words like: he, she, they, them
Third Person Limited: a narrator is not in the story,
only knows the thoughts and feelings of 1 character (uses words-he, she, they, them) Third Person Omniscient: a narrator not telling the story and knows every characters thoughts and feelings- knows all (uses words he, she, they them)
THEME: The statement about life that the author is
trying to teach the reader. The theme is never stated directly. The reader has to figure out the life lesson or the story behind the story.
