LANGUAGE ARTS: INTRODUCING A NARRATIVE QUICK CHECK.
WHICH ELEMENTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A GOOD INTRODUCTION?
1. CONTEXT
2. CLIMAX
3. CHRONOLOGY
4. CONCLUSION
1. CONTEXT: A good introduction should provide enough information about the setting, characters, and background of the story to help the reader understand the context in which the narrative takes place.
2. CLIMAX: While the climax typically occurs towards the end of the story, hinting at or alluding to the main conflict or turning point in the introduction can pique the reader's interest and create suspense.
3. CHRONOLOGY: The introduction should establish a clear timeline or sequence of events to help the reader follow the narrative structure and understand the progression of the story.
4. CONCLUSION: While the conclusion of the story itself will come at the end, a good introduction can foreshadow or hint at the resolution of the conflict or the overall message or theme of the narrative. This can help guide the reader's expectations and set up the narrative arc.
