Creative Writing
You are to create your own narrative that deals with ideas related to your AOS. Remember the basic structure of a narrative:
Orientation-
This is the start of your story where you introduce the main characters and describe the setting (time and place). It is important that you draw the reader into the story.
Complication-
The complication is essentially where a problem is introduced. This will be a challenge for the main characters. This will drive the majority of the action for the story.
Resolution-
This is where the main problem presented is resolved.
Some variations exist. There can be a
c
oda which is where the author makes concluding remarks which gives the reader an indication of what will happen in the future.
Remember that your story should be engaging and include high modality. Use descriptive language where possible.Slide30
