Narrative Writing

Adding Details to Your Writing

What is Narrative Writing?

• “So, what happened?” When someone asks you that, what do you say? You respond by telling a story- when it happened, where it happened, how and why it happened. This is what we call narration.
• Narrative writing tells a story about an event that happened.

What should a good narrative story include?

• Good narrative stories use details to describe all the important elements of an event (Who, what, when, where, and why.)
• The story should be focused and stick to one main idea.
• Unimportant details should be left out of the story.
• Narrative stories should be organized in a logical way (Beginning, Middle, and End)
• Transitions should be used to move from part of the story to the next.
• The story should make a point or lead to a conclusion.

5-sentence Narrative Stories

• So far this year we have been working on writing five sentence narrative stories.
• Here is how these stories were organized:

Sentence 1- Topic Sentence introducing the main idea

Sentence 2- Beginning

Sentence 3- Middle

Sentence 4 -End

Sentence 5- Concluding Sentence

• Transition words like first, next, and last help the story flow smoothly from beginning, to middle, to end.

Let’s look at an example

My Bicycle Accident

When I was in third grade I got hurt in a bicycle accident. My brother and I were riding our bikes down the steep hill at the end of our street. I was going so fast that I hit a bump in the road and flipped over my handlebars. I hit my head hard on the pavement and had to be taken to the hospital by my mother. I am lucky that only fractured my skull and got a concussion that day, it could have been much worse.

Here are all the parts:

Topic Sentence

Concluding Sentence

So, how does my story measure up?

• This narrative story tells about a true event that happened in my life.
• It uses details to describe all the important elements of my event:
• Who- my brother and myself
• What- had a bike accident
• When- in third grade
• Where- on the hill at the end of my street
• Why- I was going very fast and hit a bump
• The story is focused and sticks to one main idea.
• Main idea: A time when I was hurt in a bike accident.
• The story ends by making a point. This is called a conclusion.
• Conclusion: Even though I got hurt, I feel lucky to be alive because things could have been much worse.

How can I make my story better?

• Even though my story has all the major parts a narrative story needs to have, it could be even better.
• Adding more details and descriptions would make my story more interesting for my audience.

Let’s Give it a Try!

When I was in third grade I got hurt in a bicycle accident. My brother and I were riding our bikes down the steep hill at the end of our street. We were racing as fast as we could down the hill, trying to see who could get to the bottom first. I was going so fast that I hit a bump in the road and flipped over my handlebars. I hit my head hard on the pavement and had to be taken to the hospital by my mother. I am lucky that only fractured my skull and got a concussion that day, it could have been much worse.

Add a new detail sentence

When I was in third grade I got hurt in a bicycle accident. My brother and I were riding our bikes down the steep hill at the end of our street. We were racing as fast as we could down the hill, trying to see who could get to the bottom first. I was going so fast that I hit a bump in the road and flipped over my handlebars. Before I knew it I was sailing through the air, headfirst, without a helmet on. I hit my head hard on the pavement and had to be taken to the hospital by my mother. I am lucky that only fractured my skull and got a concussion that day, it could have been much worse.

Writing is one of the most well-known phenomena that may help a civilization evolve and improve. Writing is how a society's knowledge, literature, and culture are passed down from generation to generation for millennia. Writing, as a significant aspect of civilization, should be constantly improved, updated, and given special attention so that it can carry knowledge across generations in the most efficient manner possible. We all know that writing is a difficult process that needs more thought and time. This difficult activity needs extreme care in order to be completed correctly. In this study topic, I've covered a wide range of topics related to essay writing, including how to write an essay, the stages to writing an essay, why write an essay, prewriting, and how to research, prepare, and write an essay. The purpose of the research on this topic is, in the first how to research and write an academic essay, steps and plans of writing an essay, essay writing checklist and th...

The purpose and intent of this unit is to provide 9th grade English students (in either Pre-AP or Grade-Level placements) with the foundational skills and understandings needed for English, particularly for literary analysis, at the high school level as well as to help students build an appreciation for literature and narrative forms. The framework and context in which the unit is designed is based on longer, ~9-week-long learning blocks based on skills-development in reading and writing, and the unit is intended to be implemented either at the beginning of the year or as the students’ introduction to literary analysis, to be followed by a unit focused on literary analysis using a longer work or novel as its focus. As the unit’s focus is the development of skills— close reading, annotation, and analytical writing including thesis, use of concrete evidence, commentary, organization, etc.— conferencing, feedback, and practice are essential; additionally, because the unit is skill-driv...

MARGARITA SÁNCHEZ CUERVO

Writing academic texts is an inevitable component of contemporary higher education; writing in a more specific sense is an indispensable method when teaching a particular subject (Blau, 2003). As a species of text, essay-form is an integral piece of writing in which one expresses in depth his/her opinions or feelings on a particular subject. In higher education teaching, essay-form has been used mainly as an individually graded writing task, which enables students to align their own subjective points of view to more general philosophical or scientific perspectives. For this type of academic or English style essay, it is common to have a rather personal discursive overall mood, critical and argumentative perspective, and stylistic comprehension. While the essay, in its traditional form, involves logic, dialectics, and rhetoric, it still enables students to put forward their own personal views as well as to interpret the variety of generic features of the essay-form in a more general ...

NARRATIVEESSAY

ASSIGNMENT • To tell the story of a significant moment in your life-history thus far. • To have a clear purpose in telling this narrative; that is, to elucidate the valuable lessons you have taken from this experience. • To carefully select narrative details to support these morals or lessons. • To arrange these details in an appropriate narrative order.

CHARACTERISTICS * CHRONOLGY • time sequence • story with a beginning, middle, and end • make a *TIMELINE* * MORAL, POINT, LESSONS LEARNED • stated in the thesis & conclusion • Not: “I am going to tell a story about…” • Rather: “This experience taught me a valuable lesson about friendship.”

CHARACTERISTICS * RELEVANCE (EXCITEMENT) • stress relevant (exciting) parts • shorten irrelevant (dull) parts * FOCUS on a specific event • day #3 of vacation * INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION: • this IS an essay • this is NOT necessarily a 5-paragraph essay

PREWRITING • MAKE 2 LISTS: (1) a list of the 5 best times in your life (2) a list of the 5 worst times in your life • MAKE a TIMELINE for the EVENTS of the MOST SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE of YOUR LIFE: • chronology • have a clear beginning, middle, and end

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION *As if you were on The Late Show promoting a movie: • quick set up (“Set this clip up for us.”) • then “roll tape” • show a clip from “the movie of your life”

INTRODUCTIONPICTURE FRAME *PURPOSE: • Why are you telling this story? SO WHAT?! • To satisfy this demand, use the Introduction and Conclusion to create a “frame” which will encompass your story.

INTRODUCTIONPICTURE FRAME • The Introduction & Conclusion are the frame around your picture. In them, you will only discuss the background and lesson learned. They are not to make up the majority of your essay. • The Body of the essay will be the picture. It will tell a story, and it will make up the majority of your paper. • Further, the narrative elements you choose for the story will clearly illustrate the lesson/s you learned.

INTRODUCTIONPICTURE FRAME INTRO. STORY CONCLN.

INTRODUCTION GENERALIZE: • Regarding the type of lessons you learned • Regarding the type of experience you had • “Death is a painfully inevitable part of life, so most of us have undoubtedly had to face death at some point in our young lives.”

INTRODUCTION NARROW TOWARDS YOU: • Some • Others • “For some, it may have been the death of a close friend or classmate.” • “For others, it may have concerned the passing of a teacher or an adult acquaintance.”

INTRODUCTION TO YOU: • Transition to you • Use transitional expressions • Perhaps brief background information • “However, my encounter with death involved the demise of a close family relative when I was 16. In November of 2006, my 22-year-old cousin, Jefferson Miles, whom I had idolized all my life, died of esophageal cancer.”

INTRODUCTION THESIS: Previous sentence: Brief background • When, where did this event take place? • Year, age, season • “During the spring semester of 2004 after I turned 18….” Thesis: ANSWER 2 QUESTIONS: 1) What kind of story? 2) What kind of lessons learned?

INTRODUCTION THESIS: • “This tragic experience from that miserable fall taught me valuable lessons concerning my life and family in particular, as well as life and death in general.” • “This frightening experience has taught me valuable lessons regarding me, my family, family in general, and life.”

BODY: DETAILS • DESCRIPTION is necessary: vivid detail for character development or setting the scene • concrete & specific details • careful selection of details (STORY=LESSON) • CHRONOLOGICAL organization of details • no flashbacking, no omniscience • no Quentin Tarantino • past tense only

BODY: DETAILS • TIME • Year, age, season • NAMES • people, places, occupation titles, stadiums, hospitals, funeral parlors, high schools • BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS • Not a descriptive essay • Use description to set the scene • Or highlight your lessons learned • “the blonde male nurse in purple scrubs took my blood pressure at St. Mark’s Hospital….”

BODY: STORY • Extremely FOCUSED • Just a clip from your life-movie • Flows LINEARLY • All verbs should be in the PAST TENSE • PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE: the story should not be all one paragraph; break the narrative into stages (each stage = a paragraph)

BODY: BACKGROUND • In the story through dialogue or thoughts at the time** • In the Conclusion when you are explaining a particular lesson** • In the Introduction, briefly, as you set up the story *GET TO THE STORY • The 1st Body paragraph = start of the story • Do not make the reader wait until the 3rd Body paragraph for your story to begin.

CONCLUSION: MORAL • Fully explain the morals/lessons you learned from this experience • While you only hinted at the morals in your Introduction, explain them in detail here in your Conclusion • Lessons concerning yourself, family, friendship, love, life -- • Induction: lessons emanate out from the event

CONCLUSION: POV • No “you” • In the Introduction and Conclusion, do not switch to 3rd person POV (“you”) • This is YOUR story- • These are lessons that YOU learned- • So speak from the “I” (1st person POV)

An EXAMPLE of a NARRATIVE ESSAY

EXAMPLEEXAMPLE SKELETON OF A NARRATIVE ESSAY *INTRODUCTION: • You’ve got to learn to laugh at yourself. • The best advice my grandfather ever gave me was “Boy, you’ve got to learn to laugh at yourself.”

EXAMPLE (cont’d) • Sane people have learned to laugh at themselves. (or well-adjusted people) (generalizing w/o “you”) The best way for people not to take life too seriously is to tell stories about unpleasant events that happened to them. As a teacher, I have had certain encounters that, had I not laughed at them, would have driven me crazy and forced me to leave the profession. For example, during the spring semester of 2004, I took over a section of Microcomp for an ailing colleague and had one of the most embarrassing experiences of my professional career. That day, this teacher was taught a few lessons about himself and his co-workers.

EXAMPLE (cont’d) *SYNONYMS for “EXPERIENCES”: • occurrences, incidents, encounters, events, episodes

EXAMPLE (cont’d) *BODY: After a long day of teaching my usual load of courses, I …. • skip irrelevant parts • continue with the rest of the story, with concrete/descriptive details and with specific narrative details that prove your lesson learned

EXAMPLE (cont’d) *CONCLUSION: This embarrassing, yet funny experience taught me some valuable lessons about myself and my colleagues. First, I realized that… • continue with specific, clear lessons learned • go into specifics regarding these lessons • more than one lesson learned from the “most significant experience” in your life

NARRATION in SONGS

On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness ‘til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. He said, son, I’ve made a life out of reading’ peoples faces, And knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you don’t mind my sayin’, I can see you’re out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice. So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. Said, if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count you r money when you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealing’s done Now ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’ Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep. cause ev’ry hands a winner and ev’ry hands a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. So when he’d finished speakin’, he turned back towards the window, Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep. (repeat chorus X3) “THE GAMBLER” KENNY ROGERS

Let me tell you a story About a woman and a man Maybe you will find familiar Maybe you won't understand The man's name I don't remember He was always Joe to me But I can't forget the woman She was always Christie Lee He was working in a night club That's where he played the saxophone He used to fake to stock arrangements He left the customers alone But one night before the last song About a quarter after three He saw her standing at the coat check And made his move on Christie Lee (X4) She was a nice piece of music She had a rhythm all her own He blew a solo like a blind man She really dug his saxophone She wanted more than just an encore And he could play in every key He left the stage and packed his alto And he took it home with Christie Lee Oh I heard the man knew "the Bird" like the bibleYou know the man could blow an educated axeHe couldn't see that Christie Lee was a womanWho didn't need another loverAll she wanted was the saxIt took a while for him to noticeIt took a while for him to seeHe was never in control hereIt was always Christie LeeChristie Lee, Christie Lee (X2) Oh the man took a calculated gambleYes the man had the power to performBut Christie Lee was more than he knew how to handleShe didn't need him as a manAll she wanted was the hornThey say that Joe became a winoThey say he always drinks aloneThey say he stumbles like a blind manThey say he sold his saxophoneEven the band must face the musicThat's what the moral is to meThe only time you hit the high noteIs when you play for Christie Lee “CHRISTIE LEE” BILLY JOEL

We had broken up for good just an hour beforeUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uhNow I'm staring at the bodies as there's dancin' 'cross the floorUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uhAnd then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me downUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh It was the same old song with the melancholy soundUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh They don't write 'em like that anymoreThey just don't write 'em like that anymoreWe'd been living together for a million yearsUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh But now it feel so strange (out in the atmospheres?)Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uhNow I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slowUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uhThey don't write 'em like that anymoreThey just don't write 'em like that anymoreNow I wind up staring at an empty glassUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uhCause its so easy to say that you'll forget your pastUh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uhThey don't write 'em like that anymore, no!They just don't write 'em like that anymoreThey don't write 'em like that anymoreThey just don't write 'em like that anymore “THE BREAK-UP SONG (They Don’t Write ’Em)” GREG KIHN
