Narrative Writing

What is Narrative Writing? A narrative is a story containing specific elements that work together to create interest for not only the author but also the reader.

Elements of Narrative Writing PLOT The who, what, where, when, why, and how outline that gives the narrative direction. What is the story about? Events unfold as they happen. The frame of the narrative.

Plot Structure of Narrative Writing Beginning: Enticing opening to capture readers’ interest. Setting revealed. Main characters introduced. Conflict presented.

Plot Structure of Narrative Writing Middle Characters attempt to resolve conflicts or problems. Action progresses sequentially, step by step. Climax The turning point of the narrative. Reveals the process involved for solving the conflicts.

Plot Structure of Narrative Writing End Tells how the resolution of the conflicts have affected the characters. No new characters or plot ideas introduced. Theme or message understood by reader.

Elements of Narrative Writing CHARACTERS The people, animals, or inanimate objects who are affected by the actions of the plot or are the cause of certain events. If a character is not described well, the story will not be believable.

Elements of Narrative Writing SETTING Where and when the narrative takes place. Allows the readers to visualize the scenes and the characters in those scenes. Although the setting may be clear for the author, he/she must create a picture for the readers.

Elements of Narrative Writing STYLE The figurative language (similes, metaphors, etc.), sensory imagery, vivid verbs, strong sentences, dialogue, and point of view that makes each author unique. Every student has his/her own style and technique. Although we have the same topic, everyone will write differently.

Elements of Narrative Writing THEME A theme is a message revealed in the story. It may be directly stated, like in a fable where the moral is told at the conclusion. It may be indirect, leaving the reader to decide the story’s message. There can be more than one theme for a narrative.

5 W+H Questions Method Answering the 5 W and H questions provides the basic info needed to begin a story. WHO will be in the narrative? WHERE will the narrative take place? WHY will the characters do what they do? WHAT is the narrative about? WHEN will the events happen? HOW will the conflict be resolved?

Sensory Imagery Using the five senses when writing a narrative helps the reader picture and feel what is going on. Describe what you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell to make your reader become involved in the story.

Figurative Language is the use of descriptive words that bring your reader into the story.

Prologue The prologue is an opening of a story that establishes the setting and gives background details. Generally speaking, the main function of a prologue tells some earlier story and connects it to the main story. THINK “PREQUEL”

EPILOGUE An epilogue is at the end of a literary work. It is part of the main story, occurring after the climax and revealing the fates of the characters. Usually, it may be set a few hours later or far in the future. THINK “SEQUEL”
