Narrative Writing

Action, Reaction, Interaction, Description

WALT: Understand the different phases in narrative writing.

No matter what story is being told, when you analyse a text you will be able to break the text down into episodes...

Episodes are almost like scenes in a movie, in the book. 

Each time the scene changes, or time moves on, the epsiode changes.


Each episode can be analysed and broken down further in to 4 different phases. Each is important to a narrative and appear at different times and in varying amounts throughout an episode.

Action

Something happens, a character does something
(Initiating Event is normally full of action)

Reaction

A character reacts to something, internally and/or externally
(Internal Response)

Interaction

Dialogue between characters, action between characters.

Description

The scene is set, use of adjectives to describe a setting
When you are able to understand these four phases, it makes it easier for me as a teacher to break your writing down and give you feedback on what you need to include.

The action Phase

The action phase  of an episode can be analysed and broken down further.  
Three features of the action phase.

1. Who or What
2. Where/When (Circumstances)
3. What's Happening​ -  The verbs  - The engines to the sentences. These ensure the action phase works well.
People file in silently and sign in. The reaping is a good opportunity for the Capitol to keep tabs on the population as well. Twelve- through eighteen-year-olds are herded into roped areas marked off by ages, the oldest in the front, the young ones, like Prim, toward the back. Family members line up around the perimeter, holding tightly to one another’s hands.
The space gets tighter, more claustrophobic as people arrive. The square’s quite large, but not enough to hold District 12’s population of about eight thousand. Latecomers are directed to the adjacent streets, where they can watch the event on screens as it’s televised live by the state.

It’s time for the drawing. Effie Trinket says as she always does, “Ladies first!” and crosses to the glass ball with the girls’ names. She reaches in, digs her hand deep into the ball, and pulls out a slip of paper. The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop, and I’m feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it’s not me, that it’s not me, that it’s not me. 

mAGNIFYING GLASS TIME. 

An action phase needs to magnify details in order to  engage the reader! 

Magnifying glass of Who or What could be described.
Magnifying glass of Who or What + of  could be described.
Magnifying glass of   Where or When can be described.

Hunger Games -  

Magnifying glass (who or what)   'The crowd draws a collective breath'
Magnifying glass (who or what)   'She pulls out a slip of paper'
Magnifying glass (Where or When)    'People watch on screens on the adjacent streets'
