17. Component 3 – Language Practice
Word Meaning
Narrative A narrative is a story that you write or tell someone, usually in great detail. A
narrative can be a work of poetry or prose, or even song, theater, or dance.
Recount A recount is the retelling or recounting of an event or an experience. Often based
on the direct experience of the writer, the purpose is to tell what happened.
Setting Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story.
Crisis Crisis means decision or dilemma. In a story, it's the do-or-die moment, that last
chance where the protagonist must gather all their strength, ingenuity,
resourcefulness, and courage in one final effort to defeat the opposing forces
guarding the prize.
Resolution Resolution in literature is the conclusion of the story by the resolving of conflicts
between characters.
Sequence of events the identification of the components of a story — the beginning, middle,
and end — and also to the ability to retell the events within a given text in
the order in which they occurred
Here are some words that we have met before in discussing the types of texts we have been reading so far this week and
that will be used in this lesson. Let’s say each word together.

18. Component 2 –Purpose of the Lesson
What is the difference between Narrative and Recount?

19. Component 4 – Lesson Activities
Read paragraph one of each text to ask students to locate who is
involved, when the events take place and where the events take place
(Setting).
Point out the problem that causes the events that are the focus of the
story (sequence of events) in the narrative (Crisis).
Point out how the Recount goes to the first event in the sequence, which
is the ship getting stuck in the ice (yes, it is a problem or crisis too) and
goes on to describe ‘what happened next - the sequence of events.
Point out how the Narrative concludes with a solution to the problem
(Resolution) and contains a lesson to be learned.
Point out how the Recount ends with the final event in the sequence
and may not have a lesson to be learned.

20. Component 4B
1. How can you tell that The Aged
Mother is fictional/made up?
2. How can you tell that Shackleton’s
Journey is NOT fictional/made up?
3. How can you tell that The Aged
Mother is a narrative?
4. How can you tell that Shackleton’s
Journey is a recount?

21. Component 4C
Sir Ernest Shackleton's was one of the most famous
explorers of Antarctica. In 1914, he set out on an expedition to
cross the Antarctic continent in his ship, the Endurance, but it
became trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea and could not
move. What happened next was a journey of amazing courage,
resilience and determination in the face of huge challenges.
1. Look at the first paragraph of each text. In what ways are they similar?
A long time ago at the foot of a mountain in Japan
there lived a poor farmer and his aged, widowed mother.
They owned a bit of land which supplied them with food,
and they were humble, peaceful and happy.

22. Component 5
1.The focus of the lesson was on learning
about the differences between narratives
and recounts. How has the lesson helped
you to understand the difference?
2.Which questions were easy to answer?
Why?
3.What strategies did you use to answer the
harder questions?

23. LESSON 6
KEY ELEMENTS OF NARRATIVE

24. Component 1 – Short Review
1. How are recounts and narratives similar?
Answer: They both tell what happened in the past.
2. How are recounts and narratives different?
Answer: Recounts retell events in chronological
sequence. Narratives tell a story where a problem or conflict
develops and is resolved; the events aren’t always in
sequence. There is a moral or lesson to the story.

25. Component 2 – Purpose of the
Lesson
In this lesson we are going to bring together what we know about the key elements of a story,
what makes a narrative different from a recount.

26. Component 3 – Language Practice
WORDS MEANING
characters the people who take part in a story
setting where and when a story takes place
plot what happens in a story, the sequence of events
crisis the challenge or problem the main characters need
to solve to achieve their goals
climax the high point in a story
theme the main idea or lesson of the story
resolution how things end up in a story when the problem is
solved

27. Component 4 – Lesson Activities
The Laborer and the Nightingale
1 A Laborer lay listening to a Nightingale’s song
throughout the summer night.
2 So pleased was he with it that the next night he set
a trap for it and captured it. “Now that I have caught
you,” he cried, “you shall always sing to me.”
3 “We Nightingales never sing in a cage,” said the bird.
4 “Then I’ll eat you,” said the Laborer. “I have always
heard say that nightingale on toast is a dainty morsel.”
5 “Nay, do not kill me,” said the Nightingale; “but let
me free, and I’ll tell you three things far better worth
than my poor body.”
6 The Laborer let him loose, and he flew up to a
branch of a tree and said: “Never believe a captive’s
promise; that’s one thing. Then again: Keep what you
have. And third piece of advice is: Sorrow not over
what is lost forever.” Then the song-bird flew away.

28. Component 4B
1. What text type does the Story Mountain diagram represent?
Answer: Narrative
2. In which part/s of the Story Mountain would you find the sequence of
events?
Answer: Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action
3. How does the shape of the Story Mountain reflect the structure of a story?
Answer: The events in a story build up to a high point like the peak of a
mountain then gradually fall to its base in the resolution. The mountain is a
metaphor for the structure of a story.
4. If you were to draw the shape of a recount, what would it look like?
Answer: A recount would look flat.

29. Component 4C
Q5. Match the paragraphs from Text 2 with the stages in the
story mountain.
Q6. What type of text is The Laborer and the Nightingale? Give
reasons for your answer. Find evidence from the text to support
your answer.
Q7. The bird in the story gives three pieces of advice. Which do
you think is the best advice and why?
Q8. How would you rephrase or express this piece of advice in
your own words?

30. Component 5
1. The focus of the lesson was on learning about
how recounts work. How has the lesson helped
you to understand the difference?
2. Which questions were easy to answer? Why?
3. What strategies did you use to answer the
harder questions?
