Narrative

Unit: Narrative Structure

Narrative: A story or telling of a story, or an account of a situation or event, fictional or nonfictional.

Our two main questions for this unit are:

1. How can paying attention a text's "rules of notice" and its structure aid deeper comprehension of the story and its deeper meanings?
2. How do characters' decisions relate to the theme or message of a text?

The goal will be to discover the different techniques authors use how certain techniques create a particular effect for the reader.

Literary term: 


Point of view: The perspective from which a story is told.
First-person (I, me, us, my)
Second-person (you, yours)
Third-person (she, he, them, they)

Write a three-minute horror scene about
 -a character getting his/her teeth pulled in the basement of a crazy, teeth-obsessed dentist.
 -a character waking up inside a black hole and hearing strange voices
 -a character trapped inside the "It's A Small World" attraction at Disney.
