THE PLOT Plot is the organized sequence of events that make up a story. It is the main storyline of a literary work © Presto Plans
THE PLOT DIAGRAM The plot diagram contains five main elements: CLIMAX RISING ACTION EXPOSITION FALLING ACTION RESOLUTION © Presto Plans
EXPOSITION The exposition usually occurs at the start of a story. In the exposition, the readers learn about the characters, setting, and are introduced to the main conflict. CLIMAX RISING ACTION EXPOSITION FALLING ACTION RESOLUTION © Presto Plans
RISING ACTION This part of the story is usually where the majority of the action takes place. The reader begins to see the conflict develop and interest and suspense are built. CLIMAX RISING ACTION EXPOSITION FALLING ACTION RESOLUTION © Presto Plans
CLIMAX The climax is considered the turning point of the story. It is usually the moment that the rising action has built up to and is the most intense / emotional point. The main character will often change in some way at this point in the plot and the focus switches from the problem to the solution.

FALLING ACTION During the falling action, loose ends of the plot are tied up. Usually the conflict and the climax are going through the process of being resolved. CLIMAX RISING ACTION EXPOSITION FALLING ACTION RESOLUTION © Presto Plans
RESOLUTION At the resolution, the story comes to a conclusion. This usually means that the conflict is completely resolved or is determined unsolvable. The resolution is sometimes also called the denouement. CLIMAX RISING ACTION EXPOSITION FALLING ACTION RESOLUTION © Presto Plans

TYPES OF PLOTS Linear (Chronological) Flashback/Flash-Forward In Media Res © Presto Plans
TYPES OF PLOTS A linear plot in literature is a plot whereby the structure of actions follow chronologically (in order) from beginning to end. It is usually used in written literature because it is the easiest to understand demonstrate. This type of plot follows the plot diagram exactly. Most fairytales follow a linear plot line © Presto Plans
FLASHBACK & FLASH-FORWARD Flash-forward or flashback is a literary device in which the plot is interrupted by going ahead or back in time. Generally a flashback represents a memory, while a fast-forward represents expected or imagined events in the future. Both are interjected in the main plot to reveal something important. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol uses flashbacks and flash forwards with the visit of each of the ghosts. He must go back in time to see the mistakes he has made, and in the end he sees a grim future for himself and Tiny Tim. © Presto Plans
IN MEDIAS RES In medias res (Latin for “in the middle of things”) is a narrative technique where the story starts from the mid-point rather than the beginning. The story usually opens with a dramatic action rather than an exposition. William Golding’s classic The Lord of the Flies about boys stuck on an island starts in medias res. The reader is not brought through the journey of how they arrived on the island, but begins exactly where it gets interesting—with the boys’ reacting to their dilemma. © Presto Plans
