1. Narrative Writing
November and December 2013

2. Wait, isn't a narrative
just like telling a story?

3. Narrative Project Goals
Writing short stories that:
• Clearly develop a character
with personality and flaws
• Correctly uses the plot
sequence
• Adapts for different points of
view

4. Goal 1: Developing a Character
• Building a Mind
Map of your
character to
develop a round
character.
• Think of the flaw of
your character.

5. Goal 2: Plot Sequence

6. Goal 3: Point of View
You will be wringing your short story twice, from two
different perspectives, or points of view.

7. Requirements of the Short
• Does not need to be an epic.
• Meets all the goals. (Your character is key.)
• Spelling and Grammar
• Has a defined purpose (P. I. E.)
• Character Mind Map, Plot Sequence Planner,
Two Stories (2nd after break) with different POVs.

8. Let's focus on the
process not just the
product.
