Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    A narrative, or story, generally follows a structure that includes the orientation, the problem, and the solution.

  • 2

    The orientation introduces the characters and the setting, which is the where and when of the story.

  • 3

    The problem, or complication, is the most exciting part of the narrative, while the solution is where the writer solves the problem.
