Summary
Ever read a student’s story that was just event after event after event and then a very sudden ending? They lack an understanding of a plot’s structure. With the help of Finding Nemo, I break down how to set up a well-structured plot.
- First, I break down how the exposition and dénouement work in *Finding Nemo*. Students will do this for a story of their choosing.
- Now, I plan the exposition and dénouement for our my story. Students will do this for their story.
- Then, I break down the main conflict of *Finding Nemo.* I show how the rising action sets up the climax. Students will do the same for a story of their choosing.
- Finally, I plan the rising action and climax for my own story. Students will do this for their story.
