Sequence of Events and Plot
The sequence of events is the order of events in a story. A basic story must have a strong plot, characters, and a setting. The plot involves characters who have a problem. The characters go through a sequence of events in order to attempt to solve the problem. The events usually exaggerates or adds new problems to the mix. The climax occurs when the problem is solved. The story is resolved and comes to a satisfying conclusion. Students can learn and internalize plot structure at an early age. A deep understanding of plot can lead to a strong summarization of the story, as well as help readers create an organizational structure for writing their own stories.
