- What, from what you’ve seen so far, are the “ingredients” (also known as “conventions”) of an education narrative?
So far throughout everything I have read and heard I can definitely say that grabbing your audience attention is part of the conventions that your education narrative must have. Your writing piece has to be engaging to your audience in order for them to continue reading and of course as well for your writing piece to be successful. As stated in the ‘Understanding genre awareness’ video it stated “good writers are always aware of their audience and purpose and genre awareness helps us meet the expectation of our audience”. Not only that but another convention or “ingredient” that it must have is a well organized structure, your writing should still be engaging but as well flow.
- What do you think might be a place to get started with your own education narrative?
Personally I feel that you should start off your education narrative by introducing your characters to the audience and from there building it up to where the conflict might be at. But remember while doing that you need to have your audience engaged, make it interesting, don’t just simply say the characters name and their background. Try and make it possible for the audience to relate to some characters or the narrative in general.
- What are your questions or concerns about writing an education narrative of your own?
A question that I currently have is basically just how long should our narrative be? Hmm, what are some ways that I can possibly develop my writing without having my audience get bored or tired of it?
I totally agree with what you said. As most of us said a writing piece must be engaging for the audience in order to get their attention through out the story. I also like where you said you like to start off your narrative by introducing the characters to the audience. As for your question I think as long as you have every ingredent for your narrative then you should be good on the length of your education narrative.
