WRITING
ASSIGNMENT (5th MEETING)
1.
Definition of Narrative
Narrative is a text
focusing specific participants. Its social function is to tell stories or past
events and entertain the readers.
2.
Generic Structure of Narrative
A narrative text
consists of the following structure:
1. Orientation: Introducing the participants and informing the time and the
place
2. Complication: Describing the rising crises which the participants have
to do with
3. Resolution: Showing the way of participant to solve the crises, better
or worse
3.
Language Features of Narrative
Using processes verbs
Using temporal conjunction
Using Simple Past Tense
Using
action verbs
Using
time conjunction
Using
thinking verbs
- cause and effect
- main idea and
supporting details
- alphabetical
order; e.g., dictionary or encyclopedia.
The second major
difference is that narratives have at least one lead character who has
thoughts, feelings and experiences and who is intended to engage the reader.
Narrative and
non-narrative texts create very different reading experiences. Manytheorists
and researchers believe that
narrative is the form of communication that comes to us most naturally: when we
share our experiences with others, we usually do so as a narrative. As well,
most of us will have heard or watched many narratives before we learn to read
them on our own. The reader’s involvement with the character(s) also makes the
experience of reading a narrative more personal. Some people find it harder to
get engaged with non-narrative text because it lacks this human involvement.
Others enjoy reading for facts and information rather than for feelings and
experiences.
Although the distinction between narrative and non-narrative can be
useful in helping students approach different kinds of texts, literary
theorists such as Kist(2001) point out these terms cannot begin to describe the multiple forms
and functions of reading in today’s world. For example, a newspaper might
feature an article written as a narrative alongside a point form list of
related statistics. Similarly, a technical manual might have a short narrative
to illustrate a point, followed by an explanation of how something works, a
chart to provide a comparison and a graph to show various trends. As new
technologies allow us to mix and match genres in ways that were not possible
before, the difference between narrative and non-narrative is blurring even
more.
The steps how
to make a narrative writing
1.
Choose
a topic that will appeal to the designated audience for your narrative
paragraph.
Example : You will make the narrative writing with
the topic sentence “My experience

information will be in the paragraph.
3. Create an outline of your paragraph that begins

school to follow the outbond competition.
b.

c. At the night before I and my friends

4. Write your three detail sentences. Use transitions
between each sentence to lead your reader logically through the narrative.
Example :
a. When I was in senior high school I was be a representative from my
school to follow the outbond competition
b. But, I did not alone followed this competition
c. At the night ,before I and my friends followed the

sums up your paragraph without simply repeating the details from your
paragraph.
