Elements of Plot

We are about to begin an exploration of another story, this one told through music. Even though Phantom of the Opera is mostly delivered through song, all of the elements of plot that we find in fiction books are there:

  • exposition
  • setting
  • characterization
  • rising action
  • conflict
  • climax
  • resolution

Enjoy this video as a review of those elements.

  1. I love the video on the elements of plot. It will be great to share with our students at Christie Elementary in Plano, Texas

  2. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! We first found it when one of our parents who is a fifth grade teacher shared the link with us :- )
