Narrative structure

Narrative structure is like a story map that helps you understand how a story is put together. Think about it like a puzzle where all the pieces fit together to create a whole picture.

Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning is where we are introduced to the characters and the setting, and we start to learn about the problem or goal that the characters are facing.

In the middle, things start to get more exciting! The characters are faced with challenges and obstacles, and they must find ways to overcome them. The middle is usually where we learn the most about the characters and their personalities.

Finally, in the end, the story reaches its climax – this is the most exciting part where everything comes to a head! The characters must face their biggest challenge yet, and we find out if they succeed or fail. After the climax, the story starts to wind down and we see the characters resolve their problems.

Think about your favorite story – can you identify the beginning, middle, and end? How did the characters change and grow throughout the story? Narrative structure helps us understand how stories are built, and it makes them all the more exciting and satisfying to read!
