Question

Most stories use a narrative arc to sequence events so that they build on one another to create a coherent whole. Drag each story component to put them in the correct order. At the top, put the component that is usually first in a story. At the bottom, put the component that is usually last. (2 points)

Answer 1

Certainly! Here’s the correct order of a typical narrative arc:

1. Exposition (introduction of characters, setting, and background information)
2. Rising Action (building tension and developing the conflict)
3. Climax (the turning point and peak of the story's conflict)
4. Falling Action (events that occur after the climax as the conflict resolves)
5. Resolution (the conclusion of the story, where the conflict is resolved)

This sequence allows the story to unfold logically and engage the reader effectively.
