Elements to Fiction or Nonfiction

The students have been working in the elements to fiction and nonfiction writing. Next week, we will ask the students to focus on one or more of these elements. The students practiced using these elements while writing their narratives.

Essential Ingredients:
Setting (time and place)
Characters (main and supporting)
Conflict (problem)
Plotline (actual rising action/events)
Climax (turning point that leads to the resolution)
Resolution (problem solved)
Impact (effect of the solution on characters)
Theme (moral lesson that can be applied to everyday life)
