Plot A plot includes (1) a problem or goal, (2) rising action, as a character tries to solve the problem or meet the goal, (3) a climax, when the character meets the problem or goal head on, and (4) a resolution, or outcome

Plot Sometimes a writer hints at an event that will happen later in the story. Such a hint is called foreshadowing. Sometimes a writer goes back in time to tell about an earlier event. The earlier event is called a flashback.

Flashback In a story, a flashback occurs when the narrator begins describing something that happened in his or her past. A flashback can begin at any point in a story. Flashbacks are often complete stories within a larger frame story. A flashback can have its own plot, characters, settings, and themes.

Antonyms Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. If you encounter a difficult word while reading, you should look for an antonym near the word for clues to the word’s meaning.

Antonyms In the following sentences, name the antonym that helps determine the meaning of each unknown word in italics. My mother thinks that the highway exit sign was undetectable, but I noticed it right away.

Antonyms My grandfather always says that it takes a great deal of fortitude to overcome an obstacle, but that weakness will get you nowhere.

Schedule A schedule is a kind of table made of rows and columns, also called cells, that contain information. A schedule can show times, dates, and locations for traveling or transportation, or things you have to do. It can show the times and dates of events, usually in chronological order.
