Narrative Writing

Narrative tells a story and is used for entertaining the audience into thinking "I wonder what will happen next?  It has an orientation which includes: characters, setting, plot, problems the character faces and resolutions - how the problems are solved. They can be fictitious - not true and they can be based on real life situations. 

Learning Intention

I am learning to write a narrative, which entertains and holds the readers interest.

Success Criteria

I can write an orientation, (introduction) in which the characters, setting and time of the story are established. Usually answers who? when? where?

I can include / write a complication or problem that the main characters face.

I can include / write a resolution to the complication that the characters face in the narrative. The complication may be resolved for better or worse/happily or unhappily. Sometimes there are a number of complications that have to be resolved. These add and sustain interest and suspense for the reader.
