Decide how far along the plot pyramid the novel has progressed. For each plot stage that has
already occurred – or already begun to occur – list the details that best represent that stage.
Don’t forget to include exposition details, such as those related to the setting and the
characters. When you add details that represent the novel’s rising action, list events in the
order they occur – with the most recent events closest to the top of the pyramid. Finally, make
a prediction: What event could become the novel’s climax?

Beginning/Exposition:  The opening of the story usually provides background information on the characters and

setting.  It introduces the main characters, gives details that help to establish the setting, and may also explain what

happened before the story began.

Initiating Event:  Either an idea or an action introduces a central conflict/problem and sets plot events into motion.  As

a result of the initiating event, the protagonist (main character) faces a problem or is working toward a goal.  The

initiating event may occur at the end of the exposition or may have occurred before the opening of the story.  

Rising Action:  The main character (protagonist) reacts to the initiating event by taking steps to achieve a goal or

resolve a problem.  A force, however, is in conflict with the character.  Each step taken is accompanied by an outcome,

the success or failure of the protagonist's attempt.   The character reacts to each complication and makes several

attempts through the rising action to reach the goal or resolve the problem.  Some attempts may fail and others may be

successful.    

Climax:  The climax occurs at the turning point which is usually the most suspenseful or emotional moment of the story.  

The climax is reached when the protagonist takes the last step to resolve a conflict or reach a goal. The result of this step

or action is the turning point.  The turning point begins to lead the reader to the final outcome or resolution of the

conflict.

Falling Action:  The action falls immediately after the turning point.  Events that occur in the falling action are the after‐

effects or consequences of the climax.  Actions and dialogue lead the reader to the story's logical conclusion.    

Ending/Resolution/Conclusion:  The story ends in a situation that has evolved from the protagonist's success or failure

to achieve the goal or eliminate the problem.  The reader understands how the conflict has brought the story to its

ending.

Foreshadowing:  The author's use of clues, hints, or information suggesting events that will occur later in the plot.  

Sometimes things like weather are used.  A storm cloud on the horizon could suggest danger ahead.  At other times

characters may talk about the future or a character may even make a prediction as a means of foreshadowing later

events.

Flashback:  The author's interruption of the sequential plot events to return to an earlier event.  This past event is

represented as if it is happening in real time.  The author uses a flashback to provide important background information

to help the reader understand the present situation in the story narrative

Read the text carefully, then answer the question located beneath: Time to "Bee" Wary, by Gordon Winters Africanized honey bees were created in Brazil in 1957. Scientists mixed local bees with African ones to create a bee that would make more honey. They ended up with something much different. The new bees evolved in unexpected ways. They multiplied and migrated north. These Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons. Killer bees are far more aggressive than their relatives. They have been known to attack in great numbers even when there has been no direct threat on their hives. They have swarmed because of loud noises, dark clothing, bright jewelry, and even strong perfume. They will chase a person for more than a quarter of a mile and remain angered for up to 24 hours. Killer bees are also dangerous because of their sting. While most bees take up to 30 seconds to attack, killer bees sting in just 3 seconds. Their venom is no stronger than a regular bee's, but when one killer bee stings, others follow. With up to 80,000 members in a colony, victims are quickly overwhelmed. So many stings in such a short time can cause allergic reactions. Victims enter a state of shock, lose blood pressure, and in many cases, die. A final reason why "killer" has been added to their name is the unfortunate number of deaths they have caused. Experts estimate that the Africanized honeybee moves at a rate of about 200 miles each year. As the bees claim new territory, they claim new victims as well. More than 1000 people have been stung to death in South and Central America. There have been rising numbers of attacks in Mexico and a handful in the United States. Once a swarm sets sights on a victim, it is very difficult for the victim to escape. Once attacked, it is very difficult to survive. Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted. Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously. It is good practice to call a professional to remove beehives in your area. If you are stung multiple times by any insect, you should always seek medical attention. You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart. It is better to be safe than sorry.
