Parts Of A Narrative

Text Structure #15

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a tool for analyzing the story structure of a narrative. It is visually organized to help students break down a story into its constituent parts: Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution. The layout provides a space for students to write a summary of what happens at each key point in the story, reflecting the progression from the setup to the conclusion. The graphic representation resembles a diagram branching out from the central climax, emphasizing its importance as the peak of the story’s action.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students the essential components of a traditional plot structure. By identifying and summarizing the main events at each stage, students learn how a narrative builds from introduction to climax and then resolves. This exercise aids in the development of comprehension and analytical skills, as it requires students to discern and articulate the critical moments that define the narrative’s arc. Understanding this structure is key to both interpreting literature and developing well-organized writing skills.
