YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF FUN
Pirate Narrative
PromptFor this project, you
will be writing a story based on the picture prompt to
the right.
Take a good, hard look. Think about
who the main character will be in your story (Pirate or
the Pirate Muncher?), what the setting is, and who the characters are. Next, think about
what problem they will have to overcome.
BEFORE YOU START WRITING YOUR NARRATIVE STORY YOU NEED TO PLAN IT!
Story Plan
Beginning• Characters• Setting• Problem
Middle• Attempt #1 – Fail• Attempt #2 – Fail
End• Attempt #3 - Solution
Here’s an example of what a good story plan looks
like:
THE BEGINNING OF A NARRATIVE STORY SHOULD INTRODUCE THE CHARACTERS, DESCRIBE THE SETTING, AND EXPLAIN
WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

StrategyTo write the
attempts that fail we’ll be using a strategy called
TIEFET.
You’ll use this amazing structure twice in the middle
to write two fantazmonious
attempts that fail.
Attempt #1 - Fail Attempt #2 - Fail
Middle
THE END CONTAINS THE FINAL ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WHICH WORKS, RESULTING IN THE
SOLUTION.
End
Strategy
To write the end of your narrative you’ll be using a new strategy: TIEES.
T – Transition I –Idea E – Event’s Action
E – Emotion S - Solution
