Sample Lesson # 4
LESSON 4 Writing 1. So far you have been catching up on some history. In this lesson you are going to learn about narrative, what it means and how it applies to your story. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&READ Since a narrative relies on personal experiences, it often is in the form of a story. When the writer uses this technique, he or she must be sure to include all the conventions of storytelling: plot, character, setting, climax, and ending. It is usually filled with details that are carefully selected to explain, support, or embellish (add to) the story. All of the details relate to the main point the writer is attempting to make. [from http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/narr.html] &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& 2. Answer these questions: i. Upon what does a narrative rely? ______________________________________________________________ ii. What needs to be included in storytelling? ______________________________________________________________ iii. How do details help the story? ______________________________________________________________
3. 3. Plot:
Gustav Freytag considered plot a narrative structure that divided a story into five parts, like the five acts of a play. These parts are: i. exposition (of the situation); ii. rising action (through conflict); iii. climax (or turning point); iv. falling action; and v. resolution (denouement). (up and mountain and down again) [from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(narrative)]
