A. Introduction 50 minutes
When was the last time you heard a story or a narration? There are narrative
Panimula
techniques used in delivering plot. When we listen to a story being told, we
would like to know what happened till the end and know the events or the
plot in the story.
This lesson highlights the evaluation of narratives based on how the author
developed the elements: Plot (chronological sequential, in medias res,
flashback).
After going through this lesson, you are expected to evaluate narratives
based on how the author developed the plot particularly chronological
sequential, in medias res, flashback.
A narrative is the account of events, experiences and details of story. It is
a series of events which lead to an understanding of a story.
A plot is a sequence of related events in the story. It is generally constituted
by three (3) main stages: beginning, climax and ending. In this part of the
lesson, this will primarily focus on the three ways on how to evaluate narratives
based on how the author developed the elements particularly in the plot:
1. Chronological sequential is a narrative technique in which the story
has beginning, middle and end. The events are explicitly stated from
exposition to resolution.

middle

climax

beginning end

exposition resolution

2. In Medias Res is a narrative technique in which the story starts in the

middle without exposition.

family cannot afford some of his needs as a pupil, he always walks at
recognition day to accept his awards. During the last quarter in grade six, he
is confident that he is going to get another award for his family, but the COVID-
19 cases grew bigger. People’s movements were limited, classes were
suspended, and community quarantine was implemented. Even his final walk
as an elementary pupil did not happen. He felt lonely and disappointed about
not walking in the middle of the crowd with his parents. But his parents were
aware that he is not feeling good about the situation. They explained to Ken
that there is nothing to worry about and that, they are still proud of him. There
are still chances on being with him, walking in the middle of the crowd, to get
his diploma and awards. He felt happy and continued to study, the best way
he can.
