Hello, I'm just recording this little tutorial to help you understand better what you are expected to do, you know, in the activity here about the introduction to narrative texts.

2
00:00:14,539 --> 00:00:35,539
The first thing to do is to open the lesson, okay? And in the lesson, you see, first you find an introduction to what narrative text is. You read this, you read the following page. This is important because here you have the different elements of a narrative text.

3
00:00:35,539 --> 00:01:03,560
First, character. Who are the people that appear in your story? Okay. We always need to look at that. Setting. Setting is where the story takes place. Okay. Theme. The theme is the message. What is the message of the story that you will read? Okay. Action is the story itself. We need to describe what happens in the story. Okay.

4
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,060
so the action is connected to the problem and the solution as we will see

5
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:14,480
in the following page of the lesson here you see the structure of a narrative

6
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:21,500
text has these elements any story has an introduction or cold exposition how this

7
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:28,739
story gets complicated is a rising action how we reach the climax okay

8
00:01:28,739 --> 00:01:35,459
which is the moment of highest tension and how from that moment how the story

9
00:01:35,459 --> 00:01:42,260
begins to be resolved until we reach an end okay you will need to analyze this

10
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:48,299
in the story of your choice in the activity all right so remember any story

11
00:01:48,299 --> 00:01:53,739
has these parts how the story is presented the characters are introduced

12
00:01:53,739 --> 00:02:00,519
and then the story is set then how the story begins to get complicated as we

13
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:06,120
said how this story begins to be resolved and how we reach a more on

14
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,919
endings in the case of fables is normally a moral giving us a message to

15
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,439
understand in the next part of the lesson you have an example you have a

16
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:21,900
description of what fables are so you can read it all here I'm not going to

17
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:25,740
stop to do that you can do that yourselves then you have the example of

18
00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:29,400
the tortoise of the hair you can find the text a very short example that you

19
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:37,620
can find on internet I'll give you a video to follow it and then you have the

20
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:43,259
characteristics of a formal analysis which is the activity that we need to do

21
00:02:43,259 --> 00:02:49,439
I'll go back to this later all right now I want to back to go back to the lesson

22
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:57,280
once we read this lesson you need to you need to go back to the you need to go back to

23
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:05,039
you know to the main page where all the activities are let's see we go there and you will need to

24
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:14,719
look at the following one which is this what are folktales all right here you have a description

25
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:21,520
again of the characteristics of folktales you read all this okay you write a very short summary

26
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:28,039
in your notebooks okay you have these different details you have an example the three little pigs

27
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:34,400
and you have how the information is organized in it okay you have the different elements

28
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,080
i'm not going to stop to read this with you you can read this yourselves you have this story so

29
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,099
you have found on internet you can find examples of this very short versions

30
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:49,379
like this one and then you have the analysis that we need to do later as a

31
00:03:49,379 --> 00:04:00,909
final activity all right so this is the second lesson you need to read the next

32
00:04:00,909 --> 00:04:08,490
thing you find the next thing you'll find in the main page okay is this let

33
00:04:08,490 --> 00:04:15,150
me go back down is this other example I give you a practical example in a pop-up

34
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:25,660
window yeah or what you have to do in a minute you see here we try to enlarge

35
00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:31,120
this so we see it better here you see how in the case of Little Red Riding Hood

36
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:37,180
you have this story described look how is presented the story how it gets

37
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:44,319
complicated okay how we start finding more complications here and then how the

38
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:48,699
story begins to be resolved finally as the woodcutter comes you see the

39
00:04:48,699 --> 00:04:53,699
different parts of the story okay so all you need to do is just follow this

40
00:04:53,699 --> 00:05:05,379
example right and the activity itself says this it says you read the lessons

41
00:05:05,379 --> 00:05:09,939
as we have done quickly you can do that in more detail to take notes and pass them on to your

42
00:05:09,939 --> 00:05:16,180
notebook and then you look at the example in little writing hood okay and then the next thing

43
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:24,259
to do is to select the fable you choose a fable go to internet and find a text a very short version

44
00:05:24,259 --> 00:05:31,379
of a fable of your choice once you have it you need to answer the questions you have here first

45
00:05:31,379 --> 00:05:36,480
you need to say you need to write a document including these elements first

46
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,279
the title what is the title of your fable setting where does the story take

47
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:47,660
place characters who are the characters in your story okay problem what is the

48
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:53,339
story itself you describe the story how it begins how it gets complicated and

49
00:05:53,339 --> 00:06:00,360
how it reaches the end okay with all that information you type it as I said

50
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,860
and you send it okay and that's all if you have any questions apart from this

51
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:10,860
just send me a message
