What is It
Narration
Developing one’s reading and writing skills is not easy. There are learners who can read but are not able to
express themselves in writing well. You have a lot of ideas in mind but sometimes you may find it hard to organize these
ideas coherently, however, the good thing is that there are many ways on how you can write effectively.
In this lesson, you will learn one way of developing your paragraph. This is through Narration.

Writing a paragraph involves deep understanding of how one can achieve well focused and unified ideas in a
composition. For example, when students are asked to come up with a summary of a story, they tend to chop parts of
the story and put it in their summary. If that is so, it leads to create unrelated details that do not contribute in the
oneness and clarity of one’s summary.
It is important to use strategies developing ideas using a particular pattern. One of these is through narration. A
narrative text contains the plot which gives direction in making a story.
In developing narration, sequential presentation of events plays an important role. Signal words help to create
unified thought and to show the transition of events to the next. This leads us to focus on the use of the action words in
the story. It also helps to move the story and makes the story interesting.
The chronological ordering of events helps to show the reader how the story moves.
Most of the common transitional words are first, next, then, after and suddenly. Moreover, it is also important to
give specific details in pointing out the direction of the story.

What’s More
Read the paragraph and answer the following questions on a separate sheet.
Being a transferee is never easy. At first, I was hesitant to come but my mother told me that I would find new
friends in Masayahin Senior High School. I would never forget the day I first entered this school, I felt so shy and
nervous. I did not know anyone for I was a new Grade 11 student. When I entered my first class looking for a chair to sit
in, a boy sitting beside the window sill asked me, “Are you new in this school?” and I answered shyly, “Yes.” Then, he
offered me the vacant seat beside him. He was Jasper, an old student in that school. We got along with each other well
in our class. We worked on our assignments and school projects, he slept in our house doing our research work. After a
year, we both realized that in many ways we had a lot of similarities in terms of interests in life. In the end, we became
best of friends.
