Background:
A narrative should share a larger lesson with the audience beyond simply retelling an event. A strong narrative focuses on a single event or conflict and
builds from introduction to body to a resolution. Descriiptive language brings the reader into the experience; consider carefully how you describe each scene.
Show—don’t tell. Telling informs the reader by stating facts. “She was angry.” Show describes a scene. “She grabbed the wilted flowers and threw them in his
face.” Telling repeats a list or series of actions, often without stopping to describe what happened. Showing shares concrete sensory details to capture the
scene in which the event takes place.
