Monday Jan. 22

Last Friday we worked on our SCARLET IBIS activity pack. For today you must finish the plot events #s 1-5.

We will continue on page #2 today and complete the setting part.

In the second class we will be working on pages 3-4 in class.

PLOT:

In narrative, a plot is the rendering and ordering of the events and actions of a story, particularly towards the achievement of some particular artistic or emotional effect.

Typical plot structure
Initial situation - the beginning. It is the first incident that makes the story move.
Conflict or Problem - goal which the main character of the story has to achieve.
Complication - obstacles which the main character has to overcome.
Climax - highest point of interest of the story.
Suspense - point of tension. It arouses the interest of the readers.
Denouement or Resolution - what happens to the character after overcoming all obstacles/failing to achieve the desired result and reaching/not reaching his goal.
Conclusion - the end of the story.

Note that this is a simplification, and that not all stories follow this archetypal structure.
