My Novel STORY PLAN: CLIMAX
This is the turning point - the entire story has been leading up to it. The reader should be wondering what will happen. There are
several points in the climax where it seems like the protagonist is about to “win” - then it will look like the antagonist will “win.”

Where does the climax take place?


Setting = time, place, culture

Who is involved in the climax?

What is the situation?

Event #1 - Protagonist vs.


Antagonist/Another Character
What happens? (Protagonist wins)

Event #2 - Protagonist vs.


Antagonist/Another Character
What happens? (Protagonist loses)

Event #3 - Protagonist vs.


Antagonist/Another Character
What happens? (Protagonist wins)

Event #4 - Protagonist vs.


Antagonist/Another Character
What happens? (Protagonist
wins/loses)
My Novel STORY PLAN:
FALLING ACTION & RESOLUTION
The falling action part of the story is to wrap up unanswered questions. Typically, one of the two steps is one more problem the
protagonist has to face - and WIN. The other step answers or solves something that took place in the rising action steps.

In the resolution, you wrap up your story! This is where you SHOW, DON’T TELL what the protagonist’s new life is like. Show the reader what is better
(or worse) in this new life. The protagonist is the same person - but changed by his experiences.
The questions you answer in the resolution should be similar to the exposition. This will help you SHOW the differences.

Setting Notes: When the story ends: time, place, time period, mood, Everyday Life Notes: Describe the protagonist’s NEW everyday life. How do they feel
general description. How does the protagonist feel about this place? about their life? How is it the same? How is it different?
