Process
The generic structure of Narrative text :1.Orientation :It set the scene and introduce the participants (it answers the question : who,when, what, and where).2.Complication : Tells the problems of the story and how the main characters solve them.3.Resolution : The crisis is revolved, for better or worse.4.Re-orientation : The ending of the story. Maybe, happy ending or sad ending.5.Evaluation : The stepping back to evaluate the story or the moral message of the story
Conclusion
For many Primary pupils an understanding of how to close a piece of narrative text is gleaned inferentially from hearing stories read and therefore stereotypical endings are a frequent occurrence in stories written by Key Stage 2 pupils. In order to avoid the pitfall of cliché in narrative closure, the explicit teaching of a menu of ending types can be utilised.
