Fiction Introduction Grade Six Literature

Fiction Tells a story about made up characters and events Contains a group of story events called a plot Contains a setting, which is where and when the story takes place Has a narrator who tells the story

Fiction - cont. Contains a message or lesson about life, known as the theme May be written in first person point of view, which means that the narrator is part of the story (I, me) May be written in third person, meaning the narrator is NOT part of the story (he, she, they)

Why is fiction written? The purpose of fiction is to entertain the reader.

3 Major Types of Fiction Novel - is long, with many chapters Novella - shorter than a novel, but longer than a short story Short story – brief enough to be read in one setting

Novel Has a plot with many events Has several characters who face challenges Often has more than one setting Often has more than one theme

Novella Plot has fewer events than the plot of a novel Several characters that face challenges May have more than one setting Sometimes has more than one theme

Short Story Has a plot with few related events One or more characters Usually only one main setting Usually only one main theme

Remember... Short story-always SHORT; you can read it in a very SHORT time Novella-longer book, like a chapter book for younger kids (Junie B. Jones or Magic Treehouse) Novel-LONGER than a novella (Harry Potter books, Holes)
