diagram

Analysis (15min) The activity that we had is an

example of a plot

Can I ask someone who can read

the definition of "plot"?
It is defined as an
interrelated sequence of
events in a story where each
event affects the other, thus
showing the cause-and-
 effect relationship.
“Like in a short story, a plot also
has elements.”

The teacher will discuss the elements of a

short story and relate it with the recent
activity about the story of Ramayana

a. Exposition/Initial Action. This is

the very beginning of a story. In
this part, authors usually introduce !
the major characters and setting to
the reader.

b. Rising Action. This is the part

when tension starts to build. It
usually involves facing and
conquering minor conflicts, which
is what keeps the plot moving
forward.

c. Climax. This is the part of the

story where the characters finally
have to face and solve the major
conflict. This is the "peak" of the
plot or the highest point of
interest where all the tensions of
the rising action lead to the success
or failure of
the hero.

d. Falling Action. This is

everything that happens after the
climax but before the resolution.
This is when the tension lessens
and starts bringing the
action to a close.

e. Resolution/Denouement. This is
the conclusion or ending of a story.

Abstraction (5min) To wrap up the discussion,

To test your attentiveness and

understanding of the lesson, I will ask you
some questions.
