Book Club by Ms. Calvert ELA 7/8

The exposition is where the book takes place and main characters are introduced. Generally, it occurs in the first chapter. Work with others in your group to answer the following (use textual evidence):

What is the setting? How is it introduced? How does the author describe it? What are your thoughts about it?
Who is/are the main character(s)? How were they introduced? What are your thoughts about them?

Use explicit textual evidence to support your answer to the previous questions.

Exposition - the exposition is the introduction to a story, including the primary characters' names, setting, mood, and time.

Conflict - the conflict is the primary problem that drives the plot of the story, often a main goal for the protagonist (major character; an advocate or champion) to achieve or overcome.

Rising Action - the rising action of the story is all of the events that lead to the eventual climax, including character development and events that create suspense.

Climax - the climax is the most exciting point of the story, and is a turning point for the plot or goals of the main character.

Falling Action - the falling action is everything that happens as a result of the climax, including wrapping-up plot points, questions being answered, and character development.

Resolution - the resolution is not always happy, but completes the story. It can leave a reader with questions, answers, frustration, or satisfaction.
