Lesson 1: Narration
Please read the topic and answer the following activities
Patterns of Development help us sort out information and shape
paragraphs or essays. They can help organize an outline reflecting the
purpose of the writer. However, most paper will use a combination of
methods, working together in function of each other.
Narration means to tell a story about people, places, events, dates, etc.
Mostly narratives simply tell what happened in the story or the sequence
of events. A narrative of personal experience offers lessons and insights.
There are four elements of a narrative paragraph:
1. Setting – refers to time, place or location, atmosphere and mood of the
story.
2. Characters – pertain to persons involved in the story. In a story, there
is a main character known as the protagonist, and the antagonist, who is
against the protagonist.
3. Plot – which refers to the series of events has five parts:
• Exposition- beginning of the story where the characters and
setting are introduced.
• Rising Action- when the conflict is exposed
• Climax- the highest point of interest and the turning point of the
story.
• Falling Action- the conflicts begin to be resolved with predictable
ending.
• Denouement- refers to the final resolution of the story.
4. Point of View – refers to the perspective of the writer in narrating the
story. This can be first person point of view, second person point of view,
and third person point of view.
