HOW DO YOU WRITE A GOOD ENDING FOR YOUR NARRATIVE WRITING PIECE?

3 PARTS TO A STORY Every story must have: A beginning A middle An end

REMEMBER…. Dilemma Opening Build-up Resolution Ending

ENDING…. RESOLUTION The ending must SATISFY the reader and must show how the problem has been solved and how the experience has affected the character/s: Has the character….  learned a lesson  made a decision  formed a new opinion  hoped for something different/similar to happen to them in the future  become smarter, kinder, more careful, etc. The character must change in some way due to their experiences in the story.

EFFECTIVE ENDINGS Effective endings use one or more of the following techniques:  A memory  A feeling  A decision or defining action  A wish or a hope  Sometimes authors end their stories with a memory, a feeling, a wish, or a hope. Other times they end the story by referring back to the language of the beginning.

WHICH IS A BETTER ENDING?

1. A story about a trip to Carowinds: A. Then I went home. B. As I traveled home, I thought about my exciting day at my favorite place, Carowinds.

WHICH IS A BETTER ENDING? 2. A story about an embarrassing moment: A. I was very, very embarrassed. B. As long as I live I’ll never forget the most embarrassing moment of my entire life.

WHICH IS A BETTER ENDING? 3. A story about a magic carpet ride: A. I had fun. B. That’s all folks! C. As I snuggled under my covers that night, I fell asleep thinking about my ride on the magic carpet.

WHICH IS A BETTER ENDING? 4. A story about a fun day at school: A. It was the best day of my life. B. When I got home, I opened my birthday presents that my mom and dad gave me. C. I’m already looking forward to the next time we have a fun day at school. I hope I don’t have to wait too long!
