c. Abstraction
Our lesson for today is Elements of Short Story.
Before digging deeper to the lesson, let’s discuss
the terms “Elements” and “Story”.

What word can you think of when we talk about

“Elements”? (students’ answers may vary)

What comes first to your mind when you heard

the word “story”?

Elements
• Characteristics
• Ingredients

Story
• an account of imaginary or real
people and events told for
entertainment.

Today, we will focus on the Five (5) Elements of

Short Story

Five Elements of Short Story

1. Characters
- are the people who are involved in the story.
Characters can be major or minor.

[Link]
- The setting of a story gives us important
information such as:
• When the story is taking place
• Where the story is taking place
• What environment the story is
 occurring in
- It sets the mood and helps us guess what
might happen in the story.
3. Plot
- The order of events that make up a story.

4. Point of View (POV)

• refers to who tells the story, and how they
tell it.
-The narrator can tell the story from the third-
person point of view and First-person Point of
View.
Third-person POV
- Third-person narrators use the pronouns he,
she or it.
First-person POV
- are part of the story and are telling it the way
that they see it.
- First-person narrators use the pronoun I.

5. Theme
- The central meaning or idea of the story;
the moral of the story.

Any question regarding the lesson? None Ma’am!

What do you think is the importance of the five Ma’am!

elements we discussed in making a story?

Yes Tania?
We cannot make a story without these elements
since every story needs characters and details such
us time, place, and environment. The sequences
are also important for the readers to clearly
understand the events and scenes.

Exactly, that means every element has a big role

in creating an effective short story.
