Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a 'Plot Diagram' worksheet designed to help students understand the structure of a story. It includes definitions of key plot elements: Exposition, Rising Action, Rising Action Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution. Below the definitions is a diagram shaped like an upside-down checkmark, with labeled boxes for students to fill in the details of their own story, corresponding to each plot element. The diagram starts with 'Beginning and goal/problem' and ends with 'End'.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 4-7. The definitions are simple enough for upper elementary students to understand, while the concept of plot structure is relevant for middle school students learning about narrative writing.
Why Use It:
Using this worksheet helps students visually organize and understand the key components of a story's plot. It promotes critical thinking and analytical skills as students identify and summarize the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution in a narrative. It also aids in creative writing by providing a framework for developing a coherent and engaging plot.
How to Use It:
First, read the definitions of each plot element. Then, choose a story, either one that you've read or one you're creating. For each box in the diagram, write a brief summary of that plot element as it appears in the story. Start with the 'Beginning and goal/problem' and work your way through the 'Rising action climax,' 'Falling action,' and finally, the 'Resolution' at the 'End.'
Target Users:
This worksheet is designed for elementary and middle school students learning about story structure. It is also helpful for teachers looking for a visual aid to teach plot development and for students who need assistance in organizing their thoughts when writing stories.
