Understanding Narrative Forms
Three ways to tell a story
A. A TRUE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE — On Saturday, I rode my bike to the creek with Dad. I was nervous crossing the wobbly bridge, but Dad waited beside me. When I reached the other side, I felt proud. We spotted a blue-tongue lizard sunning itself on a rock. B. STORY SONG — (Verse) The clouds rolled in above the bay, / Our little boat was far away. / We pulled the rope and turned around, / Then safe at shore, our friends we found. C. POEM — I hurried home beneath the trees, / As dark clouds chased me through the breeze. / I reached my door before the rain, / Then watched it drum against the pane.
