A Special PresentDavid wants to buy a birthday present for a very special person, his mother.

After three months David goes to the shopping mall. He looks and looks for a perfect gift.

This part of the story is called the EXPOSITION. It sets up the background of the story.

Page 3: Vanderbilt-Pakistan  Lesson 4

A Special PresentSuddenly he sees a beautiful brooch in the shape of his favorite pet. He says to himself, "My mother loves jewelry.” He buys the brooch and takes it home.

This part of the story is called the RISING ACTION. If this part is good, the reader will want to keep reading. In a fiction book, usually this is the biggest part of the book.

He wraps the present in paper and leaves it for his mother to find. He is very excited and he is looking forward to the morning to see the joy on his mother's face.

This part of the story is still the RISING ACTION, but it’s even more intense than the first rising action.

But when his mother opens the present she screams with fright because she sees a spider.

This part of the story is called the CLIMAX. It is the very height of the drama in the story, and it is the moment where everything comes together.

Sometimes stories will also have something called FALLING ACTION where it gives the reader a sense that the story is completely finished.

When there are multiple stories in a row, sometimes the author will put a CLIFFHANGER at the end of a story. The cliffhanger leaves a piece of information out that the reader really wants to know so that he or she will keep reading the next book.

This story ended very suddenly with the mother finding the spider. The sudden ending was for humor purposes… even though it wasn’t really that funny.

Please arrange your desks so that you are sitting in rows, starting at the front of the

classroom and going towards the back. Each row should have four people.

Everybody get out a pencil or a pen. Each person at the front of the row (the people closest to the Skype computer) will get a

blank sheet of paper.
