Traits of Writing

Narrative Writing Telling a Story

Narrative Writing Has a beginning, middle and an ending Has vivid characters, detailed setting, interesting problem(conflict), suspenseful complications/rising action, exciting climax/falling action, satisfying resolution and meaningful theme Has an organized series of events Incorporates Dialogue Uses Sensory Detail (appeals to the reader’s 5 senses)

Avoid Character Clash When incorporating dialogue (conversation), if a new character speaks, change paragraphs, so it is clear who is speaking. Wrong Kelli said, "I want my band shirt back right now. You didn't have permission to borrow it." "No," said Paul, "but you didn't have permission to take my CD either, and I can see it on your desk." Right Kelli said, "I want my band shirt back right now. You didn't have permission to borrow it." "No," said Paul, "but you didn't have permission to take my CD either, and I can see it on your desk."

Appeal to Your Reader’s Senses Sensory detail is creating imagery by using the five senses – sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. As humans, we learn about the world and our surroundings through our senses. A reader needs to feel engaged in the written world you are creating. Writing that incorporates sensory images engages the reader and makes the writing come alive. It quickens the pulse, gives you goose bumps and makes you taste, hear, feel, see and smell what is going on in the story.
