Plot structure

Tip: Op You Tube zijn veel verschillende filmpjes te vinden met een uitleg over
plot structuur, zoals bijvoorbeeld van het verhaal “Finding Nemo”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mdXQwswQKk

Als je nog niet precies begrijpt hoe je de verschillende elementen van een plot
structuur kan ontdekken, zoek dan naar website of via youtube naar een uitleg
bijvoorbeeld aan de hand van een verhaal dat je kent.

The five basic elements of plot structure are:

 Exposition — The opening of the story, including a reader’s introduction to


characters and settings.
 Rising Action — A series of events that complicates matters for your characters, and
results in increased drama or suspense.
 Climax — The big showdown where your characters encounter their opposition, and
either win or lose.
 Falling Action — A series of events that unfold after the climax and lead to the end
of the story.
 Resolution — The end of the story, in which the problems are resolved (or not
resolved, depending on the story.) Also called the denouement, catastrophe, or
revelation.
