Lesson 1: Narration
1
Developing one’s reading and writing skills is not easy. There are learners who can read but are not able to
express themselves in writing well. You have a lot of ideas in mind but sometimes you may find it hard to
organize these ideas coherently, however, the good thing is that there are many ways on how you can write
effectively.
 Writing a paragraph involves deep understanding of how one can achieve wellfocused and unified
ideas in a composition. For example, when students are asked to come up with a summary of a story,
they tend to chop parts of the story and put it in their summary. If that is so, it leads to create unrelated
details that do not contribute in the oneness and clarity of one’s summary.
 It is important to use strategies developing ideas using a particular pattern. One of these is through
narration. A narrative text contains the plot which gives direction in making a story.
 In developing narration, sequential presentation of events plays an important role. Signal words help
to create unified thought and to show the transition of events to the next. This leads us to focus on the
use of the action words in the story. It also helps to move the story and makes the story interesting.
 The chronological ordering of events helps to show the reader how the story moves. Most of the
common transitional words are first, next, then, after and suddenly. Moreover, it is also important to
give specific details in pointing out the direction of the story.
Lesson 2: Description
In this lesson, you will learn another way of developing your paragraph through giving description.
 People love to read and listen to story and the use of appropriate transitional devices in telling stories
are noteworthy. Likewise, you have previously learned that in writing a narrative, the plot gives
direction in making the story. However, it is not only the plot that will help you to develop your writing
skills. The use of description is also important to help you create a vivid picture of what you are trying
to express through written text.
 According to Dayagbil & et al, 2016, the use of description plays an important role to elucidate the
nature of people, places and things. A series of detailed observation about the subject can help you
create a good descriptive paragraph. This involves the use of adjectives and adverbs in the paragraph.
 The kind of words we used to describe how your subject looks, sounds, feels, smells or even tastes
like are called sensory languages. It also concerns how you will arrange the details to provide an
image of the scene, the person or the object you are trying to describe in your text.
 There are two types of description. First is objective description, where the writer presents impartial
and actual picture of the subject without biases and excluding personal impression of the subject just
like when you give your description of an experiment in class. Second is subjective description,
where the writer gives personal impression of what is observed. This is often used in making fiction
stories. For instance, when you are asked to write about a place you visit during summer vacation, you
tend to give your personal judgment of how you experience the place.
