Elements of Plot

My 10th grade Honors Bambis' Here is a copy of the Elements of Plot we discussed in class AKA the mountain hand gesture that begins with a green glob monster lol; in case you missed class or your brain was teporarily abducted by aliens. Enjoy.

All fiction is based on conflict and conflict is presented in a structured format called PLOT.

Exposition: The introductory material which gives the setting, creates the tone, presents the characters, and presents other facts necessary to understanding the story.

Foreshadowing: The use of hints or clues to suggest what will happen later in the story.

Inciting Force: The event or character that triggers the conflict.

Conflict: The essence of fiction. It creates plot. The conflicts we encounter can usually be identified as one of four kinds: (Man versus.......Man, Nature, Society, or Self) There may be two or three additional conflicts-stay tuned

Rising Action: A series of events that builds from conflict. It begins with the inciting force and ends with the climax.

Crisis: The conflict reaches a turning point. At this point the opposing forces in the story meet and the conflict becomes most intense. The crisis occurs before or at the same time as the climax.

Climax: The climax is a result of the crisis. It is the high point of the story for the reader. Frequently, it is the moment of the highest interest and greatest emotion. The point at which the outcome of the conflict can be predicated.

Falling Action: The events after the climax that close the story.

Resolution(Denouement): Conclusion of action

PS: the questions you posted also kind of helped me find out what the story was about.

" By The Waters Of Babylon" Eng II (H)

Hello my little genius crew: Here are some questions to think about, explore and answer prior to exploring this lovely short story.

-What hardships or challenges would you be willing to endure to gain knowledge?
-What role does technology have in your gaining knowledge?

-What are the destructive or negative effects of technology?

Please have these answered and ready for our class discussion on Tuesday.
