Cinderella wants to go to the ball and marry the prince. At the end of the story, she does! But how does the plot move from the exposition to the resolution? Teach language arts learners and fairy tale fans about the basics of plot structure, including rising action, climax, and falling action, using "Cinderella" as an example.  After viewing the presentation, they apply the plot elements to another story they have chosen.
