Narrative Structure Poster (2)

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A simple poster outlining the structure of a narrative. This poster provides students with a clear framework for planning and analysing stories. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the four main parts of a narrative structure: orientation, complication, resolution and ending.
  • Identify these elements in both written texts and their own writing.
  • Use the narrative structure framework to organise and develop their own stories.

How the Activity Works:

This poster presents the four key components of a narrative: the orientation (introduction of setting and characters), the complication (the main conflict or problem), the resolution (how the conflict is addressed), and the ending (the conclusion of the story). Each section is explained with simple, clear language and includes examples for better understanding. Displaying this poster in the classroom helps students use this structure as a guide when creating their own narratives, ensuring their stories follow a coherent and engaging structure.
