Praise be JESUS, MARY, and JOSEPH in you Nerian!
It’s nice that you were able to accomplish our last module’s activities.
Today, we will learn about TYPES OF WRITING: NARRATIVE. This
topic will help us be more expert in writing as well as in editing and
applying the guidelines in producing a well-written literary text.
I think it’s a good time to start by answering the pre-test.
God bless Nerian!

Wow! It’s another exciting day for me. I’m sure I’ll learn a
lot this day. Though I I’m familiar with some types of
writing but I guess there are more which I’ve never known
before.

A. Warm - Up Activity:
Directions: Match column A with column B.
A B
1. Biography A. widely-told stories about the past, one that may or may not
have foundation in fact
2. Diary B. highly personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
3. Eyewitness account C. accounts of a person’s life written by someone else
4. Fantasy story D. focuses on historical or other important events
5. legends E. highly imaginative writing that contain elements not found in
real life
 How’s your score in the pre-test. I’m very confident that you got a
perfect score. Am I right? Let’s check your answers by comparing it to
the answers I provided here. 1. C, 2. B, 3. D, 5. E, 5. A.
Let me now introduce to you the topic for today, Types of Writing
(Narrative). If you had an advance reading, there are seven (7) types
of writing but today, we’ll focus only on narrative writing.

TYPES OF WRITING
A. NARRATIVE WRITING
B. DESCRIPTIVE WRITING
C. EXPOSITORY WRITING
D. PERSUASIVE WRITING
E. WORKPLACE AND TECHNICAL
F. RESEARCH WRITING
G. MEDIA WRITING

A. NARRATIVE WRITING
 Tells a story.
 A story told from one’s imagination is a fictional narrative
 A story about actual events is a nonfictional narrative.
FORMS OF NARRATIVE WRITING
a. FICTION NARRATIVES
 Literary text that tells a story about imagined people, events, and ideas.
b. NONFICTION NARRATIVES
 Any kind of literary text that tells a story about real people, events, and ideas.

You’ve mentioned that you’re quite familiar with narrative writing, now
let’s discuss it one at a time. Examples are provided for each type but if
you want to explore more you may browse the net or visit this link

FICTION NARRATIVE
1. FANTASY STORIES – highly imaginative writing that
contains elements not found in real life. (invented characters,
events, place, situations)
Example: “The Harry Potter” stories by K.K Rowling

2. HISTORICAL FICTION – Imaginary people living in real places and times of history. (Characters
are fictional who interact with famous people.
Example: “The Prince and the Pauper”
3. MYSTERY STORIES – present unexplained or strange events that characters try to solve. (often
full of suspense and surprises)
Example: “The Hound of the Baskervilles” and other Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Arthur Conant
Doyle.

4. MYTHS and FICTIONAL TALES – explain the actions of

gods or heroes or the origins of the elements of nature.
Example: “The Twelve Labors of Hercules” by Walker Brents
“Mythology” by Edith Hamilton

5. LEGENDS – widely-told stories about the past, one that may or may not have foundation in fact.
(contain fantastic details such as incredible feats of supernatural beings)
Example: Stories about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

6. SCIENCE FICTION – writing that tells about imaginary events that involve science or technology.
Example: “The Fun they Had” and other stories by Isaac Asimov

7. TALL TALES – tell larger-than-life characters in real-life settings. The characters can perform
amazing acts of strength and bravery.
Examples: Stories about Pecos Bill, Bernardo Carpio

If you find this discussion complicated because of the example that are
not that familiar to you, you may browse the net for more examples or
the link I provided on the upper part of this module. Anyway, if you are
a movie lover you’ll find it easy to identify the movies base on forms of
narrative writing.

I don’t find it complicated anyway because I can still

remember some examples taught to me during elementary and
 I think we better procced now to the second type of narrative
writing, the nonfiction narrative. Nonfiction narrative is any kind of
literary text that tells a story about real people, events, and ideas.
Please keep in mind that when we talk about nonfiction it’s based on
reality.

NONFICTION NARRATIVE
1. PERSONAL – tell true stories about events in a person’s life.
(autobiographical)
Example: Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela, other personal
narratives

2. BIOGRAPHICAL – accounts of a person’s life written by someone else. (can be short or book
length)
Example: other accounts written by somebody else (read the sample biography below)

3. DIARY and JOURNAL ENTRIES - highly personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings. (private)
Example: Diary of Anne Frank, etc. (read the sample diary entry below)
4. BLOGS – online journals that may include autobiographical narratives, reflections, opinions, and
other types of comments.
Example: Any online blogs in social media

5. EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS – focuses on historical or other important events. (the writer is the
narrator)
Example: Reality show on television

6. MEMOIRS – accounts written by somebody about meaningful scenes in his/her life and
experiences.
Example: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, other examples below.

7. REFLECTIVE ESSAY – presents personal experiences that generally focus on sharing

observations and insights.
Example: personal reflection
