Narrative Arc Matching Worksheet
Part 1: Understanding the Narrative Arc
What is a Narrative Arc?
A narrative arc is the structure that organises the events in a story from beginning to end. It shows how a story develops and creates tension before reaching a satisfying conclusion.
The Five Stages of the Narrative Arc:
1. Introduction/Exposition: Introduces characters, setting, and background information
2. Rising Action: Series of events that build tension and develop the conflict
3. Climax: The turning point or most exciting moment of the story
4. Falling Action: Events that happen after the climax, leading towards resolution
5. Resolution/Conclusion: The conflict is resolved and the story ends
Part 2: Pair Matching Activity
Instructions: Work with your partner to match each story event below to the correct stage of the narrative arc. Draw lines or write the letter of each event next to the correct stage.
