Narrative Writing and Stories

What is narrative? Why do we use it? To tell a story A truth we want to share with our audience Voice

key elements Topic Audience : who are you talking to? diction Symbols Perspective: 1st person (I/We) 3rd person (he/she/it) Sequence of events

Setting dates, times, places make your reader feel like he or she is THERE Imagery, personification or simlie

character development how many characters (less is more!) antagonist and protagonist include physical and emotional characteristics leave reader guessing

Climax/Twist placement in story: prepare reader vs. shock reader reason for writing helps with placement stairs to the top landing (hints)

Implicit or explicit meaning Explicit - “ex” meaning OUT, very clear meaning Implicit - “im” means IN, hidden or suggested, there to discover for the reader

for this: What is the topic of the short story? Who is writing? From what perspective? Where is the story taking place? Who are the main characters? Anecdotes: what examples are provided

Writing your own narrative Free write: without lifting your pencil, let your hand do all the work and let ideas flow read other short stories write until reader is satisfied leave reader wanting more - A SEQUEL!

Final steps writing Leave it for at least one day Come back and read it
