1) Orientation: Sets
the
scene:
where

when
the

happened and introduces the participants of the story: who and what is involved in the story.
2) Event: This will lead to the construction of a plot
3) Resolution: The
problem (the crisis) is resolved, either in a happy ending or in a sad (tragic) ending
A narrative text is an account of an experience.
Through a narrative the individual can express and share something special with the reader.

•a journey, •a special day such as the first day in school or a realization of truth – the Maya Angelou text on understanding deathThe reader to comprehend:
The narrative text should present at least one of the following: a point of view, •attitudes, • perspectives •and construction of reality of the narrator.The reader can thus become a part of the experience and understand the personality of the narrator.

of events that are related
in
chronological order.
