Narrative Plan | Writing

This week we have been learning to plan a narrative.

First we reminded ourselves what the structure of a narrative was, which is TOPES. TOPES stands for title, orientation, problem, events, and solution. Orientation talks about who, when, what, and why? The problem is something that goes wrong in the story, the events talks about what the characters do in order to solve that problem, and the solution talks about the last things the characters do to solve the problem.

Next we watched two films. We then talked about where the title, orientation, problem, events, and solution were. 

Then we listed different ideas for our film, and took out ideas that we didn't want.

When we chose an idea, we thought about how we could turn that idea into a short narrative, that would only be one A4 page long if it was been written, and 30s - 2m long if it was filmed. We then started to planned our narrative and wrote our ideas into sentences.

I enjoyed planning the narrative and I also liked about my idea that I have chosen.
