Narrative Writing Mrs. Osborne 9 th Grade

Narrative Writing  Tells a story – either fiction or non-fiction  Has a narrator and/or characters  Uses dialogue, pacing, and vivid descriptions that flow!  Have transition words to convey time passing  Uses precise language  Has a meaningful conclusion

Narrative - Exposition  The exposition of the story is in the beginning  Engages the Reader with a Hook  Orients the Reader by giving a place and time  Explains the Context of the Story  Gives a Definite Point of View  Hints at the Main Conflict

Engage Reader with a Hook  The hooks you are encouraged to use in Ms. Osborne’s class are:  Strong Feeling or Emotion  Scary or Exciting Moment  Song Lyrics  Hyperbole  Idiom  Interesting Dialogue  Complaint  Shocking Statement

Orient The Reader  In the Exposition is where you tell the reader  Who  What  Where  When  Hint to Why/Main Conflict/Climax

Point of View  Choose your pronouns and stick with them:  First Person (I, my, me, we… knows the thoughts of only one person)  Limited Third Person (Uses names and he, she, they…Narrator knows thoughts of only one character but sees all actions)  Third Person (knows the thoughts, actions and words of everyone involved)  This is not an exhaustive list…just examples

Context  This helps explain to the reader the reasoning behind the story  Entertain solely?  Entertain and teach a moral lesson?  Scare?  Create Intrigue?

Rising Action - Narrative  Creates Excitement About the Main Conflict  This points to the Climax of the story  Develops Sub-Conflicts  These are little things that get in the way of the main character and/or characters  Character Development  While this is ongoing throughout the Narrative, during the Rising Action is where this is really developed.

Climax  This is the biggest, most emotional part of the story – the big event that created a conflict to begin with.  Conflict is not to be confused with situation.  Situation: In a car  Conflict: You are going to die because the car you’re in is being swept downstream

Falling Actions  Remember to describe in detail how all your characters are dealing with the events of the climax.  Character development is important, but through the lens of how they would have normally acted

Resolution  Character Development: Really important at this stage – this is where the reader’s opinion can change or stay the same regarding a character.  “Big So What” – leave the reader with a strong feeling, strong image, lesson learned, humor, hope or wish.  This statement should match and sum up the context of the writing piece.
