How do you do a plot diagram?

Answer 1

Write out the stages of a plot on a paper -- see the related question if you forgot these.

Beside each heading, write what happened in the story or book that fits into that category. That's a plot diagram!

Answer 2

To create a plot diagram, you typically start by identifying the key elements of the story, such as the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Then, you plot these elements on a diagram with the introduction at the beginning, rising action leading to the climax in the middle, and falling action and resolution towards the end. This visual representation helps outline the sequence of events in a story.

Answer 3

The basic method is just to draw that roller-coaster-like line, with the sharp peak in the middle. Label the beginning "introduction," then put in "exposition" before you get to the "rising action" on the upslope of the peak. "Climax" is the top of the peak, followed by "falling action" on the downslope and "resolution" or "denouement" at the end.
