I explained the elements of plot by drawing a pyramid on the board depicting the Freytag pyramid which segments plot into exposition, climax, and resolution . I then distributed an exercise I prepared that required Lena to place the listed events from Act I of the play in the correct order as they transpired in the play by lettering them A-E consecutively . I identified the climax of ActI and II and showed Lena how to place the plot climax at the top of the pyramid and instructed her to place the other events leading up to the plot climax on the upward slope of the pyramid . We were able to complete most of the exercise by making a few adjustments to Lena's timeline.
