Importance of Narration

As we read the article by Susan Dymock, I gained a new knowledge regarding the importance of narration. Narration includes a beginning, middle, and end. Narratives are used to support larger arguments. We can apply the lessons that we learn and move through the narrative smoothly. We can include flash backs to relate back to our audience. When constructing a narrative, make sure that we use the right tenses at the right time. Don't go from present tense to past tense in the same sentence. However, we are allowed to apply different tenses throughout out narrative. Within narratives, there are story grammars. Story grammars are an attempt to construct a set of rules that can generate a structure for any story. Story grammars can also be used to structure sentences. They can make story structures more specific.

By applying our back round on narratives and story grammars, students will be more effected having a knowledge and a better understanding of these topics. By teaching comprehensive strategies such as these, we can make sure that the outcome of the students improvements of understanding the text will be more substantial. By using narrative charts and graphs, students can be taught strategies such as character analysis, plot analysis, and will be able to identify the theme and setting that will eventually bring a visual representation of the narrative to life. Students that have a knowledge of these strategies will give them a more elaborate understanding of narratives. Students also have fewer problems comprehending the text type.
