What are the 5 elements of plot structure?

The 5 Parts of Plot are:

1. Exposition (Setting, Character, and Initial Problem)

2. Complication (Rising Action)

3. Crisis Decision

4. Climax (Physical and Mental/Emotional)

5. Denouement (Resolution )


In literature, especially of high school and collage level, there is no falling action. Falling action is only introduced in middle school to help children understand the concept.
