NARRATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE WRITING
needs to follow the pyramid structure (Freytag's pyramid).
exposition
- introduce characters, establish setting, outline plot (context)
introduce the
conflict
(problem that needs to be solved)
3.
rising action,
problem builds up, steps taken to find a solution to the conflict
climax
- something big happens; major turning point; scene with the highest tension/action
falling action
- solution is found, immediate consequences of what happens in the climax
resolution
- smaller problems are fixed (tie up loose ends); long-term consequences of solving the problem.
show don't tell (describe something without directly saying what it is) - skills of INFERENCE
engages the reader's senses (imagery)
tactile (touch)
auditory (hearing)
visual (sight)
gustatory (taste)
olfactory (smell)
no specific structure like Freytag's pyramid
however, your work needs a variety of focus (use this to arrange your work into paragraphs)
your description as a whole should make sense
Include a range of other descriptive techniques too
personification
metaphor
simile
alliteration
onomatopoiea
make sure your story is convincing and coherent (easy to follow)
do not end on a cliffhanger - make sure all your questions are answered in your resolution
