ALAN PEAT NARRATIVE WRITING FRAMES

NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE

EXAMPLE RULE

B.O.Y.S.

1. She was happily playing a game, but got upset when she lost. 2. The cookies could be double chocolate chip, or oat and raisin. 3. It was a warm day, yet storm clouds gathered over the distant horizon. 4. Mr Fogarty was hungry, so he ate all the chocolate biscuits.

A B.O.Y.S sentence is a two-part sentence. The first part of the sentence always ends with a comma [,] and the last part always begins with a connective.

2Ad

1. Mr Twit was a dirty, horrible man with long, soggy spaghetti in his beard. 2. It was a sparse, dry desert with a calming, exotic oasis in the distance.

A 2Ad sentence has TWO adjectives before the first noun and TWO adjectives before the second noun. The sentence creates a clear picture for the reader.

Simile 1. The huge, green monster chased after the children like a tornado. 2. Although the pirate was as tall as a mountain, he was frightening. 3. He crept into the kitchen as quietly as a mouse.

A simile creates a picture in the reader’s mind. It compares one thing to another using …like a …. and as a ….

3_ed

1. Confused, shocked, scared, the Watson family ran from the burning building! 2. Excited, elated, thrilled, she won the dance competition.

A3_ed sentence starts with three adjectives, that end in –ed and describe emotions. The _ed words MUST be followed by commas. [,]

2 pairs

1. Exhausted and worried, cold and hungry, they did not know how much further they could go.

Begins with two pairs of related adjectives. Each pair is:

Followed by a comma [,]

Separated by and

De:De

1. I was exhaust: I hadn’t slept for more than two days. 2. She was bewildered: She didn’t know what to do next.

A Description: Detail or De:De sentence includes

A compound sentence in which two independent clauses are separated with a colon

The first clause is descriptive

The second sentence adds further detail

Verb, person

1. Running, Sarah almost tripped over her own feet. 2. Tiptoeing, he tried to sneak out across the landing without waking

anybody up.

A sentence starts with a verb to give it more importance. The verb is always followed by a comma [,] and then the name or personal pronoun (he, she, they, it) followed by the rest of the sentence.

NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE

EXAMPLE RULE

Outside: Inside O.(I.)

1. Kate at the cake that was given to her with enthusiasm and delight (Inside, however she wished she had turned down the offer.)

2. She smiled at the little cheeky boy. (At the same time she was hurt by his tricks.)

Outside: Inside sentences are made up of two related sentences. The first sentence tells the reader a character’s outward action and the second reveals their true feelings.

If, if, if, then

1. If the alarm clock hadn’t gone off, if the bus had been on time, if the road repairs had been completed, then his life would not have been destroyed.

2. If Hannibal hadn’t been lost, if Rome hadn’t won, if Carthage hadn’t fallen, then the Mediterranean would be very different today.

Summarising a dramatic plot (key points) at beginning or end of a story in groups of 3. The emphasis is on using a comma after each clause.

Emotion word, (comma)

1. Desperate, she screamed for help. 2. Terrified, he froze instantly to the spot 3. Happily, she skipped along the gravely path.

Emotion first followed by the actions that are caused by the emotion. Putting the word first gives more weight to the emotion. When teaching produce an A-Z list of emotions the children could use (e.g. Afraid, Brave, Cantankerous etc.)

NOUN, which, who, where

1. Snakes, which scare me, are not always poisonous. 2. My pet dog, who only has three legs, loves to chase seagulls. 3. The deserted beach, where the shipwreck was found, can only be

reached by sea.

Use commas to embed a clause in a sentence, add information that links with the sentence topic and start the clause with which, who or where.

Many Questions

1. Where is the treasure? the diamonds? the gold? the rubies? 2. What if she was lost? trapped? captured? murdered?

Start with a question and question mark, followed by further words or phrases which pose linked questions. Beware – you don’t need to start each phrase with a capital letter!

Ad, same ad 1. He was a fast runner, fast because he needed to be. 2. It was a cold planet, cold due to the distant sun.

Same adjective used twice. The second adjective repeated straight after the comma [,]

3 bad – (dash) questions?

1. Cold, dark, airlessness – which would kill the spaceman first? 2. Greed, jealousy, hatred – which of these is most evil?

Three negative adjectives followed by a dash [-] then a question which relates to the three adjectives.

Double ly ending

1. She sang soulfully and emotionally. 2. He exercised vigorously and enthusiastically. 3. They laughed loudly and shrilly.

The sentence must end in two adverbs which add detail to, and describe how the verb within the sentence is being carried out.
