Introduction

Welcome, students, to our lesson on narrative structures in English! We all love a good story – whether it’s in a book, movie, or even a TV show. But have you ever wondered what makes a story great? That’s where narrative structure comes in.

Engage Your Creativity

To start things off, I want you to imagine your own story. It can be anything – a tale of adventure, a mystery, a romance, or even a comedy. The only rule: it must have a beginning, middle, and end.

Share Your Creations

Once you’ve imagined your stories, we’ll break off into groups of 2-3 and share our narratives with each other. This is a great opportunity to practice your storytelling skills and to see just how important narrative structure is in creating a compelling story.

The Importance of Narrative Structure

After we’ve shared our stories, we’ll discuss the key elements of narrative structure, including:

• The exposition
• The rising action
• The climax
• The falling action
• The resolution

Wrapping it Up

By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a better understanding of how narrative structure works and why it’s so important in creating a captivating story. So, let’s get started!
