III. LESSON PROCEDURE

a. Prayer and Checking of Attendance

b. Activity

What is your favourite story? List at least three (3) reasons why you considered that story your
favourite. Think of how you can persuade your classmates to read and, at the very least, like it as well.
Retell it as you are the author him/herself. Let your imagination guide you in your retelling; unleash your
inner bard and let your actions supplement the spoken word.

c. Analysis

1. Were you able to recall your favourite story?

2. Was it easy for you to retell again the story?

3. Do you think you were able to retell every single detail of the story?

4. Do you think your classmate will be persuaded to read your favourite story after retelling it to
him/her? Why or why not?

d. Abstraction

- Lecture and discussion of the topic will follow.

- A group from the class will be delivering a report about narrative writing

(Follow up activity will be given by the reporter)

Wrap Up Questions:

1. What is narrative writing?

2. What are the pointers that should be considered in writing narratives?

3. Can you elaborate the phrase “it is better to show rather than tell” in narrative writing?

e. Application:

Try to remember someone you were once close. What were the things you enjoyed doing together? Do
you still do these things now? What made you two drift apart? How do you regard each other now? Do
you wish the two of you could still be close like you were back then? Describe this person in detail. Use
any of the narrative devices to illustrate how your relationship was back then, now, and how you still
want it to be. Write a narrative essay about this one.

IV. EVALUATION:

Below are some statements that synthesize our lesson on narrative writing. Write “A” before the letter if
you agree with the statement, or “D” if you disagree. Explain your answers.

_________ A. Shifting point of view is fine in a story for as long as the reader is still able to understand
the overall meaning and significance of the narrative.

_________ B. Shifting verb tense, on the other hand is also fine for as long as the reader is able to follow
the sequence of events.

_________ C. In terms of vivid description, the “show rather than tell” rule of thumb should always be
observed.

_________ D. Narrative devices should always be present in any narrative for it to be effective.

_________ E. A narrative essay is the most effective mode of paragraph development to use when you
want to write something about a significant event that happened to you.
