An Exposition is where everything is introduced. The characters, the setting, the time, the place, the problem, etc.
The rising action is when things begin to escalate. It takes the reader from the exposition and leads them towards the climax. This part tends to be dramatic and suspenseful.
The climax! When you finally take a breath after holding it in in suspense. This is the most emotional part of the book. For example, when Harry faces Voldemort in the end of any Harry Potter book
Falling Action is when everything tends to slow down. The climax is over. Relating back to my Harry Potter example, this would be after Harry faced Voldemort, and he is in the hospital wing recovering.
The resolution. The conclusion. The end. Whatever you want to call it. But this is the final part of the story when everything is wrapped up. Sometimes the story is finished off completely, answering every reader's question. Sometimes authors leave mysterious, to intrigue the reader. Or sometimes authors leave hints of a sequel.
