 Elements of Plot in Narratives
Exposition or This first part of the plot presents the main
Introduction characters/protagonists and the setting. Here, the
BEGINNING reader is getting to know the story and what it’s
going to be all about.

The main conflict or tension around which the

Conflict plot revolves
is also usually introduced here in order to set up
the sequence of events for the rest of the
narrative. This tension could be
the first meeting between two main characters,
the start of a
mystery or arising of problem.

Rising Action This creates tension both within the story and
the reader. It
sets the rest of the plot in motion. Excitement
grows as
tensions gets higher, eventually leading to the
MIDDLE climax of the
story. For example, the antagonist (enemy)
planning to hurt
the protagonist (lead character).

Climax or It is the most critical moment wherein tensions

turning point are highest,
instilling in the reader a sense of excitement, fear,
and
nervousness and the likes. The character do
something about
the conflict of problem.

Falling Action This is when the story is going out of tension and
ENDING the story
begins to wind down. We start to see the results
of the climax;
the main characters’ actions, how characters’
choices affect
themselves and those around them.

Resolution or This final plot point is the finale or closure where

Denouement everything
is wrapped up and is usually short. Characters
usually achieve
the sense of normalcy but resolution is not always
a "happy
ending." Ending can be tragic and entirely
unexpected, too.
 One Moment at Recess
by Grace S. Ponce
It was 10:00 in the morning at Mabuhay Elementary School.
It’s time to take a snack, it was recess time. Pupils are line up in
waiting for their turns to go inside the canteen. Out of the crowd,
Joselito seems down at the bench just looking around the kids eating
and some are playing. He had no money to buy something because
his father did not receive his salary yet. His mother told him to have
a heavy breakfast for him to be full until lunch time.
While waiting for the time to pass by, he suddenly saw fifty
pesos on the ground. He said to himself, “If I spend this money, I will
be able to have lots to eat for recess.” But, he knows that it is not
the right thing to do. So, he goes to their classroom and asks for help
from his adviser to find the owner of that money. It so happens that
one of his classmates Irene was crying at the corner of their
classroom because she lost her money. Joselito asks Irene how much
she lost? “It’s fifty pesos”, said Irene.
Joselito gives the fifty pesos that he saw to Irene and said, “I
think it’s yours.” Irene was so thankful to Joselito. As a form of her
appreciation, she told Joselito to go to the canteen with her and they
shared snacks for recess. Joselito was grateful that because of his
honesty, he was able to enjoy his recess time.
