Writing

CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to write a narrative text.

VOCABULARY

Narrative writing can be broadly defined as story writing – a piece of writing characterized by a main character in a setting who encounters a problem or engages in an interesting, significant or entertaining activity or experience.  What happens to this main character is called the plot.  The plot follows a beginning, middle, and end sequence.  The middle of the story is the largest, most significant part, which we call the main event. The main event is really what the story is all about and involves either a problem to be solved or a significant life experience for the main character.  Authors write narrative stories in order to entertain an audience of others – this is called author’s purpose.
