    and techniques authors use in narratives.

    TASHI
    THIS TERM WE WILL BE LOOKING AT

    About the Authors and Illustrator


    Anna Fienberg is the author of many
    popular and award-winning books for
    children of all ages. Her mother, Barbara
    Fienberg, an ex-librarian, is chief plotdeviser for the Tashi books. Kim Gamble
    has done splendid illustrations for many of
    Anna's books, and for books by other
    authors.

    Before We Start - Blurb of the Book


    Tashi comes from a place very far away. He escaped from a war lord and flew
    to this country on the back of a swan. Hes as brave as he is clever,
    and he tells the best stories ever!
    Giants, ghosts, witches
    Bandits, demons, monsters
    Tashi is always ready for anything.

    Making A Prediction
    Based on the blurb, write a prediction on what type of text you think this story is,
    what it is about and what the authors purpose might be. Finish these sentences:
    I think this book is a (narrative/ information report /advertisement/poem)

    I predict this book will be about ..

    I think the author wrote this book to .. (entertain/ inform/ persuade)

    Writing a Short Narrative


    We have established that this book is
    about Tashi and know from the blurb
    that he encounters giants, ghosts,
    witches, bandits, demons, and
    monsters. You will have 30 minutes to
    write a short story about Tashi.

    What is a narrative?
    A narrative is a story.
    It can entertain us and teach us certain things.
    Fairy tales, fables, adventure stories and
    humorous stories are all narratives.

    Record this definition in your book.

    Authors Purpose
    Authors choose language and illustrators use pictures to capture the
    readers attention; they add interest to the story and keep the story
    moving by using various techniques, including character development and
    plot tension.

    How is a narrative written?


    Think of familiar stories that you know:
    - Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
    - Little Red Reading Hood
    - The Lion King
    - Snow White
    What are some of the things these stories have in common?
    Brainstorm together on board.

    How is a narrative written?


    A narrative has a beginning or Orientation.
    The orientation tells us about the main
    characters and where and when the story
    happens.
    There is a series of events in order.
    There is an unexpected happening or
    Problem.
    A narrative has a Conclusion or Resolution.
    Copy this in your books.

    Protagonist
    The main character, or protagonist, is the good one
    in a story or novel. The one who can adapt to new
    situations. Answer the question, Whose story is
    this?
    Record this definition in your English Book.

    Antagonist
    Most good stories have a character or two known as
    the antagonist someone who makes life difficult
    for the hero of the story.
    Some of examples of antagonists from popular
    stories are..
    The wolf little red riding hood
    Cruella devil -101 Dalmatians

    Review
    You can think of the protagonist as the hero and the
    antagonist as the villain.
    To remember which is which, remember that the
    prefix pro means good, or positive, and the prefix
    anti means bad, or negative.

    Protagonist and Antagonist

    antagonist for each.

    Read Tashi and the Dragon Breath

    Questions: Tashi
    In Tashi the author introduces us to the characters Tashi, Jack, the War Lord and
    the Dragon.
    We develop our understanding of the characters through the words the author
    uses and the illustrations.
    Divide your page into 4 parts and draw a picture of each of these characters.
    Surrounding each character write words or phrases to describe how this character
    looks, feels, acts. Use words from the text, the illustrations as well as what you
    have inferred in your head.

    Examining Language features to build Character


    Anna and Barbara Fienberg use expanded noun groups and verb groups
    to describe characters appearances, behaviour and actions
    Kim Gamble, who illustrates many of the Tashi books, uses these
    descriptive words to draw the illustrations for the novels; these words and
    pictures help build the characters
    (Refer to Grammar Slides - Noun Groups and Verb Groups)

    Examining Verb Groups to Build Character


    Noun groups describe characters while verb groups give us more information about characters and their
    behaviour
    Verb groups include action verbs, thinking and feeling verbs, saying verbs and being and having verbs.
    The authors use all of these types of verbs to build up the characters in Tashi. By examining their actions,
    speech, thoughts and feelings, we can create a clear picture in our minds of the personality and
    character of these characters.

    (Refer to Grammar Slides - Noun Groups and Verb Groups)

    Learning Intention
    I will identify the stages of the narrative used by the authors in writing Tashi.
