Key concepts students will learn:
- •
A narrative, or story, generally follows a structure that includes the orientation, the problem, and the solution.
- •
The orientation introduces the characters and the setting, which is the where and when of the story.
- •
The problem, or complication, is the most exciting part of the narrative, while the solution is where the writer solves the problem.
