PLOT (DEFINITION) Plot is the organized pattern or sequence of events that make up a story. Every plot is made up of a series of incidents that are related to one another.

1. EXPOSITION This usually occurs at the beginning of a short story. Here the characters are introduced. We also learn about the setting of the story. Most importantly, we are introduced to the main conflict (main problem).

PLOT DIAGRAM Exposition: Setting (Who? What? Where? When? ) Inciting Incident: Event or decision that begins a story’s problem

2. RISING ACTION This part of the story begins to develop the conflict(s). A building of interest or suspense occurs.
