Writing Narratives and Stories

Telling Your Own Stories

Narratives are stories you create about real or made-up events. They have characters, a setting, a problem, and a solution.

Parts of a Good Story

  • Characters: Who the story is about.
  • Setting: Where and when the story happens.
  • Problem: What challenge the characters face.
  • Solution: How the problem gets solved.

Bringing Stories to Life

Use details and interesting words to make your story exciting. Think about what happens first, next, and last.

Why This Matters

Writing your own stories helps you use your imagination, organize your thoughts, and share your ideas with others.

Examples

  • Writing about a time you lost a tooth and how you felt.

  • Inventing a story where a dog saves the day at the park.
