Fictional Writing From a Source

2. Learning Goals: 1. Define narrative based writing
2. Examine the aspects and qualities of narrative based writing
3. Examine how the author makes you feel as though you are really there.
Materials needed: Take out a blank piece of notebook paper, and label it with a standard heading. We are going to take brief notes today. Thanks!

3. What is narrative based writing?
Narrative based writing is FICTIONAL writing that uses actual historical or scientific documents to make events seem real.
If you write a narrative based story, you need to use SOURCES.

4. Have I ever seen narrative based writing before?

5. Movie producers are writers…
Movie producers have actors who act out scenes. They are able to tell us what time period we are watching through visual effects. (costumes, battle scenes, historical monuments.)
They are very careful with the language and dialect of their characters when writing scripts.

6. Have I ever read narrative based writing before?

7. What genres of literature are evidence based?
Most genres of literature are evidence based.
(authors spend years and years researching before writing a story!)
Evidence makes the writing appear to be more real and helps the audience connect to the writing.
Genres include: historical fiction, science fiction, realistic fiction, and mystery

8. We are going to watch a few clips of historical fiction movies…
Your job is to…
Write down three things from the clip that help you know what time frame in history the movie takes place in.
Look at costumes…
Look at weapons…
Look for specific events in history…
Look for characters you recognize…
Overall you are examining how the producer made you feel as though you were really viewing the past.

11. Authors writing a book…
They aren’t able to give the audience the visual piece on a movie screen, so they have to create the visual effects within their readers imaginations.
They do that by using figurative language to create imagery for their readers.
They also use dialogue to bring the characters and their plot to life.
They have to PAINT A PICTURE AND GIVE ADEQUATE BACKGROUND INFORMATION so their reader understands the book’s time period.
