What should you do in an Introduction?

• Describe the Characters - who are they and what do they look like?

• Describe the Plot - explain the whole story from beginning to end.

• Describe the Setting - Where are we? What do we see?

• Reveal the Climax - Describe the turning point of the plot.

Why is a Rising Action so important?

• Its where all the twists are revealed!

• Its where the Plot begins!

• Its where all the Characters are Introduced!

• Its where the Turing point happens!

Answer explanation

Correct! The plot is introduced in the rising action. It can be used to introduce the conflict, develop the plot and characters, build tension, and builds up to the climax.

What sorts of things should happen in a Climax?

• End the Story!

• Have the most Emotion, Drama and Suspense!

• Lead to a Turning Point in the Plot!

• Face the biggest problem!

What happens in the Falling action?

• Nothing... The climax is over and so is the story.

• There are still some problems, and we start to head towards the resolution.

• A brand new, even bigger problem appears.

• We head towards the resolution by introducing the setting.

A good Resolution should:

• Conflicts should all be ended (unless you want a sequel).

• Answer any questions.

• End the story in the middle of the Climax.

• Develop the Characters and Setting.
