Narative Plan | Writing

This week we have been learning how to plan a narrative. Narrative plans are just ideas that are related to the narrative you are going to write.

First, we revised that structure of a narrative, TOPES. Title, Orientation, Problem, and Solution. Orientation answers the questions when, who, what and why. Problem shows the main thing thats wrong in the story. The events shows the steps of solving the problem. The solution shows the final steps of solving the problem and their new normal life.

Next, we watched 2 different videos to know how to identify where the title, orientation, problem, the events and the solution start and stop.

After that, we came up and brainstormed our own ideas of short narratives. We then eliminated the ones we could not do, and chose one idea to build up.

Once we chose an idea, we thought about how we could turn that idea into a short narrative, that would only be one A4 page long if it was written, and 30s - 2m long if it was filmed. We planned our narrative and wrote our ideas into brief sentences.

I enjoyed brainstorming ideas for the narratives. I especially enjoyed planning out the narrative. One thing I think I could work on is adding onto ideas to make my ideas more interesting.
