7. It is really true that when we share our thoughts to others through social networking sites or verbally to our friends (with a face mask), the feeling of sadness diminishes. It uplifts our love to hear stories and glaze our eyes in sharing ours.

8. It gives us consolation to move on and live the kind of life we have; life that is challenged by this virus, COVID-19. We engage ourselves in telling our own stories for it shows how we acted.

9. This storytelling or narrating of experiences will be re-examine in this lesson. Brace yourself with those events to tell your own story!

10. The development of story is successful in its objective through the use of variety of patterns to better understand the material. It reflects our thinking and explores the vast ideas that we have.

11. Structuring your ideas will start when you formulate your topic sentence. Then linking some details to support your topic sentence. In linking these supporting sentences, the use of transitional devices is essential.

12. In this lesson, one pattern of development in writing will be explored.

13. Narration is one pattern of development in writing. It is basically a skill of chronologically telling a story of events or experience that signaled by transition devices .

14. The transitions like first , then , soon , after , and suddenly maintain coherence (consistent) and show movement of actions. The use of these devices predicts that the sentences that followed are all supporting the topic sentence.

15. The description of the details answers the how, when, where, and why’s questions. It creates world based on the writer’s imagination. ( Filomena T. Dayagbil , Ed.D ., Ethel L. Abao , Ed.D ., Remedios C. Bacus , Ed.D . 2016)

16. Every narrative contains elements namely; setting , character , plot , conflict , and theme . Setting serves as background of a story for it gives the place and time elements.

17. A story links an incident or series of incidents that take place somewhere or some time. Each story has main and subordinate characters .

18. They must speak and act naturally, like people we know. They appear in our imagination and we start to understand their actions.

19. They start to create their own place in our thoughts as we read the story. At times, we empathize with their feelings and actuations within the story. These characters can be protagonist , antagonist , static or flat , dynamic , round , antihero , and foil .

20. The plot covers the series of incidents that occurs in the story. It becomes clear and forceful if the narration captures the interest and enriches the imagination of the readers.

21. The sequence of events can be categorized as linear (the events are chronologically arrange beginning , middle, and end), modular (not following one linear narrative , standard and variety ), and episodic (one episode can stand alone).

22. The conflict elevates the reader’s emotion until it reaches solution. It is the problem that needs to be resolved. Revealing some truth about life is its main function.

23. This significant truth about life that a story attempts to communicate to its readers is called theme , most important and least explicit (fully revealed). It shows that reading narratives entertains and gives us p rofitable experiences.

24. You have to bear in mind the following suggestions in narrating a story. First , you should have a clear setting. The time and place of the story must be specifically mentioned.

25. Second , you should make impactful and clear characters. They should be alive in your imagination. It is there that they will capture memories to tell when you are going to retell the story.

26. Third , you should link the events in an orderly manner. The use of transitional devices is a must to show the smooth flow of the story.

27. Fourth , you should use simple and precise language. Lastly , you should use actual conversation. Using direct or quoted statements makes your narrative clear.

28. Consider this story entitled “A Birthday Surprise” from englishforeveryone.org .

29. A. Let us analyze the parts. 1. Setting : The place mentioned in the story is the room of Ella, then restaurant, and the concert venue. The time is evening. 2. Character(s) : The characters are Ella and Ezra. They are lovers and fond of music.

30. 3. Plot : The plot is linear in manner. It starts with the day before her birthday, then her birthday, and its celebration. 4. Conflict : Probably the conflict is the inability of Ella to watch a concert of her favorite band and so her boyfriend surprises her with such.

31. 5. Theme : The theme is love and how to show it to your loved.

32. B. Let us have a closer look at the process of narrating the story. First , you should have a clear setting. The time and place of the story were specifically mentioned. It helped the readers to follow the events and the discourse of the characters.

33. Second , you should make impactful and clear characters. The characters were alive in our imagination. Their exchange of conversation showing the feeling of joy, excitement, and love were very imminent that will be easy for you to retell the story.

34. Third , you should link the events in an orderly manner. The author did not use transitional devices in the story. He instead used the conversation between the characters to show action indicating the smooth flow of the story.

35. Fourth , you should use simple and precise language. The language used in the story is so simple. It can be understood by all for the author used simple terms to have the events flow smoothly.

36. Lastly , you should use actual conversation. The use of the direct or quoted statements of the author to show the exchange of conversation between the two characters makes your narrative clear. The author shows the excitement and love to both characters through their uttered words.

37. Activity 1 Read carefully the narrative passage. Answer the questions on your answer sheet. The Wooden Bowl by Ramona Moreno Winner

38. A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.

39. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.

40. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about grandfather,” said the son. I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.

41. So, the husband and the wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.

42. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather’s direction, he had a tear in his eyes as he ate alone.

43. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year- old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.

44. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

45. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.

46. That evening the husband took the grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family.

47. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

48. QUESTIONS: 1. What is the setting of the story? 2. Who are the characters? 3. What is the conflict? How it was resolved in the story? 4. What is the theme? How it is applicable in our present situation?

49. Activity 2 Write your own narrative with 5-8 sentences. You can have the working title “My Experiences During Pandemic” . You can narrate what have you learned during this time.

50. What have you accomplished so far? Remember to indicate the needed elements; setting, character, plot, and theme. Use transitional devices to link the events or experiences in the story.

51. Remember that your narration will be graded according to the following criteria.

52. POSTTEST Directions: Match the items in column A with the items in column B. Write the letter of the correct answer on the space provided before each number.
