 Narrative Writing

Hi everybody 

Last week we talked about Descriptive Writing, Guess what we are going to talk about this week.?

Yes Narrative Writing.

Narrative Writing - is a way of presenting connected events in order to tell a good story. Narrative Writing contain a begining, middle and end. There are five elements of narrative writing.
  •  Plot - this is most important becaues it is the story structure. The Plot can be divided into the begining, middle and end.
  •  Characters - the characters are the individuals that the story is about. 
  • The setting is the location, weather, time, and time period of the action.
  • Theme is the main idea in the story. The theme of a story can be conveyed using characters, setting, dialogue, plot, or a combination of all of these elements.
  • Point of view - is the “eye” or narrative voice through which you tell a story. When you write a story, you must decide who is telling the story, and to whom they are telling it.
Narrative Writing is a story that must be based on conflict. Every story has a conflict to solve. The plot is centered on this confl ict and the ways in which the characters attempt to resolve the problem.
  • Conflict between a character and nature
  • Conflict between a character and society
  • Conflict between characters
  • Conflict within a character
These essential elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical way that the reader can follow.

    Teaching these elements of narrative writing and in conjunction, the narrative devices, definitely would help our students produce smooth running stories and keep the readers engaged. Writing in logical sequence is also of great importance, as the story would make very little sense if it includes evidence of these structural elements been used, but it is not in the correct order.

  Hello all!     We're off again on another exciting writing journey. Am here this week to share with you another creative and enriching way in which we, as teachers, can promote  good writing skills in our students, to make the experience more exciting, more meaningful, more enjoyable and especially pain-free for them. Based on this week's very informative and interactive class sessions, our blog post this week will focus on one of the many types of writing that our students often engage in. It will also inform us as to how we could ensure they become competent in such writing task. This type of writing of which I speak is one that engages the use of the five senses, using sensory words to create in the reader's mind a clear and vivid image of the characters, objects, places, events, experiences and even feelings that he/she may be trying to portray. In other words, it gives detailed descriptions of whatever is being written about. Can you guess that which I speak of?    H

Persuasive writing is a written form of an oral debate and can be a fun and interesting style of writing for students. Persuasive writing is used to convince or persuade a reader that the writer’s opinion of a topic or cause is correct. Persuasive Writing presents an argument, and when it’s effective, writers are convincing, swaying readers to their viewpoint or take action. When students engage in persuasive writing students must 💢Use a “hook” to grab reader’s attention 💢State a clear position 💢Support your view point with facts, examples and other evidence. 💢Address alternative positions and counterarguments 💢Conclude with a summary of their argument and an appeal to readers.
