How
to Differ from the other Writing Genres.
As
students prepare to write, they need to think about the purpose of their
writing: Are they writing to entertain? to inform? to persuade? Setting the
purpose for writing is just as important as setting the purpose for reading,
because purpose influences decisions students make about form.
One
of the most important considerations is the genre or form the writing will take:
a story? a letter? a poem? an essay? A writing activity could be handled in any
one of these ways. Students learn to use a variety of writing genres; six are
described in the table below. Through reading and writing, students become
knowledgeable about these genres and how they’re structured (Donovan &
Smolkin, 2002). Langer (1985) found that by third grade, students respond in
distinctly different ways to story- and report-writing assignments; they
organize the writing differently and include varied kinds of information and
elaboration. Because students are learning the distinctions between various
genres, it’s important that teachers use the correct terminology and not label
all writing as “stories.”

Genre
|
Purpose
|
Activities
|
|
Descriptive Writing
|
Students observe carefully and
choose precise language. They take notice of sensory details and create
comparisons (metaphors and similes) to make their writing more powerful.
|
|
|
Expository Writing
|
Students collect and synthesize
information. This writing is objective; reports are the most common type.
Students use expository writing to give directions, sequence steps, compare
one thing to another, explain causes and effects, or describe problems and
solutions.
|
|
|
Journals and Letters
|
Students write to themselves and
to specific, known audiences. Their writing is personal and often less formal
than other genres. They share news, explore new ideas, and record notes.
Students learn the special formatting that letters and envelopes require.
|
|
|
Narrative Writing
|
Students retell familiar stories,
develop sequels for stories they have read, write stories about events in
their own lives, and create original stories. They include a beginning,
middle, and end in the narratives to develop the plot and characters.
|
|
|
Persuasive Writing
|
Persuasion is winning someone to
your viewpoint or cause using appeals to logic, moral character, and emotion.
Students present their position clearly and support it with examples and
evidence.
|
|
|
Poetry Writing
|
Students create word pictures and
play with rhyme and other stylistic devices as they create poems. Through
their wordplay, students learn that poetic language is vivid and powerful but
concise and that poems can be arranged in different ways on a page.

The
Step How To Make Narrative Writing
1. Be ready to tell a story.
In basic terms, a narrative essay is a work of narration: storytelling. The
most important brick of building a narrative essay is a plot or storyline.
Right after you get the topic in your hand, take a fresh, vibrant page and
start brainstorming your plot ideas.
Example : the topic is traveling
2. Have
some type of setting. You need to
have a setting: a place where your story starts or takes place at the beginning.
You need to describe the setting- its physical appearance, either with the help
of descriptive words or even with metaphor and imagery. Example : visit to my
grandmother’s home.
3. Build
your reader's impression of your characters. How many
characters you have is your choice, but it's often best not to try to work in
too many characters, particularly if it's a short story. Having a great number
of characters will mean you don't get a chance to flesh them out properly.
Example : I visit to my grandmother’s home with my big family.
4. Let
the plot unfold. As you write, describe all the scenarios and characters'
actions in such a way that the reader can visualize them. Use sensory words relating to all five
senses. Particularly if you're working on a short story or essay, conveying a
lot of sensory information using very evocative language can help the reader
feel transplanted into the setting. With this kind of essay, you have less time
to earn the reader's buy-in to your tale, so you have to make every word count.
5. Plan
your climax, the twist in your story. It could be a death, a secret finally
revealed, etc. Do not introduce the climax right in the beginning or all of a
sudden right at the end; prepare your reader slowly for the climax and bring
the plot naturally to it. This will keep the reader glued to the final word.
6. Finish
up your story. With shorter narrative essays in particular, don't get
bogged down by an obligation to wrap up every character's storyline or explain
their future in detail. It's okay to leave the reader guessing about what
happens next, and how the characters turn out. As a writer, leaving your
readers satisfied with the plot but wanting to know more about your characters
is the ideal balance.
7. Revise after writing. It's very
rare to write a great story the first time through. You'll probably want to
read through your work, make proofreading and editing
changes, and get input from others on your story. Revision is just as important
to the writing process as getting your initial ideas on paper.

The Fairy Tulip
Once
upon a time, there was a good old woman who lived in a little house. She
had a bed in her beautiful striped tulip garden. One night, she was awakened by
the sound of sweet singing and babies laughing.
The
sounds seemed to come from the tulip bed., but she could see nothing.On
the following night she was again awakened by the sweet singing and the babies’
laughing. She arose and walked quietly to the garden.
To her surprise,
she saw a little fairy mother crooning and rocking athe flower like a cradle.
In each cup of the flower lay a little fairy baby playing and laughing. The old
woman walked back to her house, and from that time on she never picked the
flowers, nor did she allow her neighbours to touch them.

Because the sentence is
