following group of pictures that I will show to all of
you. Are you ready?. “Yes Ma’am.”
1. CHARACTER

2. PLOT

3. THEME

4. SETTING

The answer may vary.

“What do you think will be our topic today?”

D. Lesson proper The students answer.

The teacher asks the student questions and writes
the word narrative on the board.
“When you hear the word Narrative what comes “Ma’am Story, Narration or someone telling a
into your mind?” story.”

“Narrative is a text that tells a story, will you read.” -A narrative text is that text that tells a story that
 takes place in a certain period and place.

“And narration is what? will you read The narration refers to the way of telling the story,
Mr./Ms._____.” in the form of a sequence or as a series of actions
carried out by the characters, and that allows the
reader to imagine the situation.
“Now, "narration" is how the story is told. It's like
the voice that guides you through the tale. It can
be a sequence of events or actions done by the
characters. When you read or hear the narration,
you can picture in your mind what's happening,
almost like watching a movie in your head. So, in
simple terms, a narrative text is a story, and
narration is how that story is told.”

“In narrative text, we have different elements that

we should know. do you still remember what the “The elements of a narrative text are the Plot,
elements of a narrative text are?” Setting, Character, Conflict and Theme

“What is Character?”
“Characters are the people, animals, an object or
magical creature in the story.”

“Characters make the story interesting by what

they do, think, and how they interact. They're like
real people in a story, each with their own
personality and role. They're important because
they drive the plot forward and experience
everything that happens in the story.”
“Like for example in the story of Snow White and
the 7 Dwarfs we have different characters there, Snow White - The beautiful and kind-hearted
here are the characters: “ princess who is forced to flee from her evil
stepmother, the Queen, and finds refuge with the
seven dwarfs.

The Evil Queen - Snow White's stepmother, who is

consumed by jealousy of Snow White's beauty and
attempts to have her killed.
The Seven Dwarfs:
Doc - The leader of the dwarfs, known for his
wisdom and intelligence.
Grumpy - The gruff and cynical dwarf who is
initially suspicious of Snow White but later grows
fond of her.
Happy - The cheerful and optimistic dwarf who
always sees the bright side of things.
Sleepy - The drowsy dwarf who is always tired and
sleepy.

“The next one is the setting, what is Setting?”
“The setting of a story is where and when it takes
place. It can either carry deeper meaning or just
serve as a background for example:”
“These settings provide the backdrop for the
various events and interactions in the story, from
Snow White's initial flight from the Queen to her
eventual rescue by the prince.”
“Next is Conflict when you hear the word conflict
what comes into your mind?”
“Conflict is the problem in a story that the
characters face.”
“And we have different conflict those are:”
“The interaction of character and conflict creates
the central effect of the story and is the main
Bashful - The shy and timid dwarf who often
blushes and stammers.
Sneezy - The dwarf who has a perpetual cold and
sneezes frequently.
Dopey - The youngest and most childlike of the
dwarfs, known for his antics and lack of speech.
-This element can refer to a time and place the
story is set in. The location can either work
symbolically or it can simply be a backdrop for the
story to take place in.
A Medieval Kingdom: The story often takes place
in a medieval-style kingdom, complete with
castles, forests, and villages.
Enchanted Forest: Snow White flees into the
enchanted forest to escape her stepmother's
attempts on her life. This forest is often depicted as
mystical and full of magical creatures.
The Dwarfs' Cottage: Snow White finds refuge
with the seven dwarfs in their cozy cottage deep
within the forest. This cottage serves as a haven for
her.
“Ma’am Problem.”
- Conflict refers to the issue or problem characters
in a story are confronted by.
The narrative is structured around how the
characters face the conflict.
- . The four general types of conflicts are:
1) person vs. person (a couple going through a
divorce).
2) person vs. self (protagonist wrestling with
depression).
3) person vs. nature (protagonist trying to survive
a natural disaster); and
4) person vs.
society (protagonist fighting for civil rights).
indicator of meaning, for example in the story of
snow white she faces different conflicts these are:”
“Why conflict is important in a story?”
“Now let’s proceed to the Plot.”
“For example, again in the story of Snow white the
plot are:”
- Person vs. Person: Snow White faces conflict with
her jealous stepmother, the Evil Queen, who wants
to harm her.
Person vs. Nature: Snow White encounters
challenges in the forest, dealing with wild animals
and the elements.
Person vs. Self: Snow White must adapt and make
decisions while fleeing, facing internal struggles
along the way.
“Conflict is vital in stories because it creates
tension, keeps the audience interested, and helps
characters grow. It drives the plot forward,
revealing the characters' strengths and weaknesses
while making the story more engaging and
meaningful.”
- Plot is the structure of the narrative as it moves
through time. Most narratives (but not all) follow
this traditional plot structure. It consists of:
the exposition (introduction of setting and
characters)
rising action (events that build conflict
for the protagonist)
climax (tension of conflict reaches highest, most
intense point)
falling action (the events following the
climax)
denouement (the resolution of conflict).
- Exposition: Before the death of the first queen,
she named her daughter Snow white. Snow white’s
step mother the 2nd queen is a vain woman that
worships a mirror.
Rising Action: The queen sends a huntsman to kill
Snow white. Huntsman spares Snow white’s life
and sends her to the woods to hide from the
queen and there she meets the 7 dwarfs.
Climax: Snow white eats the apple and gets
poisoned. The queen thought it was finally a
victory for her.
Falling Action: The queen eventually dies as she

“Let’s proceed to the Theme, what is theme?”
“Theme is the big idea or message that the writer
wants you to take away from the story. It's like the
moral or lesson. Everything else in the story—like
characters, plot, and setting—helps to show and
support this main idea. Theme is the author's way
of sharing their thoughts or opinions on a topic.”
“In the story of Snow White, the themes are:”
“The last one is the Point of View.”
“And we have three types of POV these are:”
“In Snow White story the point of view is:”
falls off a cliff while being chased by the 7 dwarfs.
Denouement: Snow white came back to life as the
prince came with true love’s kiss. Snow white goes
back to the palace and they lived happily ever
after.
- Theme is perhaps the most important literary
concept because it is the overarching idea that the
writer of the story wants the reader to understand.
All other literary concepts are used to create
themes. The theme is the author’s commentary on
a subject.”
“The theme of "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" revolves around concepts such as jealousy,
kindness, resilience, and the triumph of good over
evil. It teaches lessons about the dangers of
jealousy and vanity, the importance of kindness
and inner beauty, and the ultimate victory of
goodness and love.
“Point of View refers to how the story is told.”
-First-person narrator: Tells the story from the
viewpoint of "I" or "we," giving readers insight into
the character's thoughts and actions.
Third-person limited narrator: Tells the story from
an outside perspective, focusing on one character's
thoughts and actions, using "he," "she," or "they."
Third-person omniscient narrator: Also, an outside
perspective, but knows everything about the story,
including thoughts and actions of all characters,
without limitations.
- In "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the point
of view is primarily from Snow White's perspective,
showing her thoughts and experiences.

E. Generalization

“Again, what are the elements of a narrative text?”
“And what is Narrative text?”
“What is the importance of knowing the elements
of the narrative text?”
F. Application

them. The teacher gives 1 box to each group.
Inside the box it has a short story and elements of
a narrative text, and the student needs to identify
what elements of a narrative is the given text and
arrange it.

“Class, today we have four boxes, and each group

short stories along with the elements of a narrative
text. Your task is to read and identify the elements
of a narrative text and arrange them accordingly. I
will only give you 5 minutes to finish the task, you

Sometimes, the narrator also provides insights into
other characters' feelings and actions.
The student answers.
“The elements of a narrative text are Characters,
plot, setting, theme, and point of view.”
“Narrative text is a type of writing that tells a
story.”

“"The Gift" teaches us about the importance of
family, heritage, and sacrifice. It shows how a
