Appraise the unity of plot, setting and

viewed to achieve the writer’s purpose.
• Who among you here likes to watch
films or movies?
• When we talk about films and movies,
there is always a storyline that is
creatively written by the writer.
• This storyline is made up of elements
that coherently keep the story together.
• What does every story need?
• 1. Plot
• 2. Setting
• 3. Characters
• 4. Conflict
• 5. Theme
• A plot is the sequence of events in a
story .
• It has 5 elements.
 .Exposition/ introduction- it establishes the
• 1

main character and the setting. It shows

what normal looks like for the characters.
• Settings- means where and when the
story happened.
• Characters- are people or animals in the
story.
• There are two types of characters.
• 1. Protagonist- good person (Bida) (Darna)

• 2. Antagonist- bad person. (Kontrabida) (Valentina)

• 2.Rising action- the primary conflict/
tension is usually introduced here.
• - leads to climax
• - presents conflict (makita ang problema)
 Climax- it is the most important part of the
• 3.

story; tensions are highest here, instilling in

the reader a sense of excitement, dread and
urgency. (kulbahinam nga part)
• In the climax, some questions will run into the
minds of the reader.
• Example:
• 1. “Will the character survive?”
• 2. “ What will happen if the main character and
killer meet?”
• 3. “Magbulag naba ang mga ferson?”
• 4.Falling action- tension has been
released and the story begins to wind
down .
• - problems or conflicts are starting to be
resolved.
• -sulbad ang problema sa main
character.
• 5.Resolution/ denouement- it is where the
new world—and the new sense of normalcy
for the characters has been established here .
• - simply, the ending of the story.
• An author has purpose, reason and
intent in writing .
• Have you ever thought of the
author’s purpose why he or she
wrote the story?
• An author writes with one of four
general purposes in mind:
• 1.To relate a story or to recount (saysay)
events, an author uses narrative writing.
• 2.To tell what something looks like, sounds
like, or feels like, the author uses
descriptive writing. (describe ang five
senses ex. Unsa kunoy feeling sa love..char)
• 3.To convince a reader to believe an idea
or to take a course of action, the author
uses persuasive writing. (Para kuno naa
kay idea unsaon..unsaon pagmove on)
• To inform or teach the reader, the author
uses expository writing. An author’s
purpose is reflected in the way he writes
about a topic. For instance, if his purpose is
to amuse, he will use jokes or anecdotes in
his writing. (Para daw mo malingaw ug
makalimtan ang kasakit sa dughan)
