The focus on this episode is on narrative texts, a specific type of text that students will encounter time and again. These texts are the bedrock of storytelling as they represent the very fabric of literary creation, history and everyday communication. Understanding their structure and characteristics is vital, not just for recognising them but for mastering the art of narratives.

What structure should narrative texts have? What characteristics do these texts have? Is there a correct way of writing a narrative? All of these questions will be dealt with throughout this episode.
