- 2. Chain Writing • Write your name in a piece of paper • Write one sentence (S+V) • Give it to the friend next to you, you will receive your friend’s writing too • Read the previous sentence(s) and write a sentence in relation to that sentence(s) • Keep it moving! (20-30 seconds max)
- 3. Non-stop Writing • https://www.squibler.io/plot-generator • Using the prompt given, for 10 minutes, write anything that you have in mind in either your textbook, phone, or laptop. • DO NOT stop writing to think about the content or the grammar.
- 4. Exchange the Writing • Find a friend to exchange the writing. • Then, give comment under the writing: what is/are good in that writing, what do you like from the writing.
- 6. What is Narrative and Why 1. Writing narrative means writing story 2. It can be used to motivate, educate, or most commonly entertain. 3. Narrative can be fiction or non-fiction, here we focus on fiction 4. We will do what is basically creative writing
- 7. Types of Fictional Narrative • Adventure • Action • Fairy Tale • Myth • Romance/Love story • Drama • Fable • Legend • Sci-Fi • Fantasy • Mystery/Detective • Comedy • Tragedy • Horror You can mix and match them
- 8. Parts of Narrative Writing 1. Character 2. Setting 3. Conflict 4. Plot 5. Theme
- 9. Character(s) • The central part of your story • Can be a person, animal, being, creature, thing; as far as your imagination goes • As your character(s) progresses (character development), so does your story
- 10. Setting • Where your story takes place: house, café, old building, physical world, space, digital world, fantasy world, etc. • To set the setting well is even more important in writing a novel – worldbuilding • What is possible, what is not possible, flying? Magic? Force? Dragon? • Power without limit will not make an entertaining story
- 11. Conflict • To make the story progress, conflict is a pivotal element • Without conflict, character development cannot be achieved – story would be too bland • Conflict can be: • Character vs Self • Character vs Character • Character vs Society • Character vs Nature • Character vs Supernatural • Character vs Technology
- 12. Plot • So now you have a character(s) in a setting that has a conflict(s), now what? • Your story needs to move forward. • What will the character try in the face of the conflict? • Action – reaction • Orientation –> complication –> resolution
- 13. Theme • These are embedded into your story even if you’re not trying to. • Narrative writing tells a story and with any stories, lessons are learned and these become the themes of your story. • Whether you mean to or not, your own thoughts about the world and important values bleed into your work within the narrative writing.
- 14. Organization of Narrative Writing 1. Orientation: introducing character(s) and setting 2. Complication: conflicts/problems are introduced, then how the character(s) reacts is described here • Problem – rising action – climax – falling action 3. Resolution: the ending of your story, asking the question: “so?” • Basic ending: “and they lived happily ever after”
