- Create an Outline. It should be one sentence for each step. You may type own outline as long as EVERYTHING is included and everything is labelled so I know what each element is.
- Compose an introductory paragraph and highlight or underline the main idea. You will want to clarify what your THESIS is.
Introduction: Main Idea
Body 1: What set the story in motion?
Body 2:What single event occurs?
Body 3: How is the story resolved?
Conclusion: What did you learn?
A narrative should share a larger lesson with the audience beyond simply retelling an event. A strong narrative focuses on a single event or conflict and builds from introduction to body to a resolution. Descriptive language brings the reader into the experience; consider carefully how you describe each scene. Show—don’t tell. Telling informs the reader by stating facts. “She was angry.” Show describes a scene. “She grabbed the wilted flowers and threw them in his face.” Telling repeats a list or series of actions, often without stopping to describe what happened. Showing shares concrete sensory details to capture the scene in which the event takes place.
