TYPES OF
SETTINGS:
REALISTIC SETTINGS: THESE SETTINGS
MIRROR REAL-WORLD LOCATIONS AND
TIME PERIODS.
Fantastical Settings: These settings are
imaginary worlds, often filled with
magic, mythical creatures, and
extraordinary events.
Hybrid Settings: This approach allows
authors to explore both the familiar and
the extraordinary, creating a richer and
more complex narrative.

BACKBONE OF THE
NARRATIVE, DRIVING

ENGAGED
BASIC PLOT
STRUCTURE:
EXPOSITION: THIS INTRODUCES THE
SETTING, CHARACTERS, AND INITIAL
SITUATION.
Rising Action: This is the series of events
that build suspense and lead to the climax.
Climax: This is the turning point of the story,
the moment of highest tension or drama.
Falling Action: This is the series of events
that follow the climax, leading to the
resolution.
Resolution: This is the conclusion of the
story, where the conflict is resolved and the
story comes to a satisfying end.
TYPES OF PLOTS:
LINEAR PLOT: EVENTS UNFOLD IN
CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, FROM
BEGINNING TO END.
Nonlinear Plot: Events may be
presented out of chronological order,
using flashbacks or flashforwards.
Episodic Plot: The story is divided into a
series of shorter, self-contained
episodes, often loosely connected by an
overarching theme or character.
POINT OF VIEW REFERS TO THE
PERSPECTIVE FROM WHICH A STORY IS
TOLD.
1. First-Person Point of View:
The story is told from the perspective of
a character within the story, using “I” or
“we.”
Advantages: Creates a strong sense of
intimacy and immediacy.
Disadvantages: Limits the reader’s
perspective to the narrator’s
experiences and knowledge.
2.THIRD-PERSON POINT OF VIEW:
This perspective uses pronouns like “he,” “she,” “it,”
and “they.” There are several variations within third-
person:
Third-Person Omniscient: The narrator knows
everything about all the characters and events in the
story, including their thoughts and feelings.
Advantages: Provides a broad perspective, allowing
the reader to understand the motivations and inner
lives of multiple characters.
Disadvantages: Can feel less intimate than first-
person narration. The omniscient narrator might
sometimes feel intrusive or overly explanatory.
SECOND-PERSON POINT OF VIEW:
Description: This point of view uses “you”
to address the reader directly, placing
them within the story as the protagonist.
Advantages: Creates a highly immersive
and interactive experience for the reader.
Disadvantages: Can feel unnatural or
overly intrusive if not handled carefully.
It’s less common in children’s literature.
THE THEME IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE IS THE
UNDERLYING MESSAGE OR IDEA THE AUTHOR
WANTS TO COMMunicate to the reader.

EXAMPLES OF COMMON THEMES IN


CHILDREN’S LITERATURE:
FRIENDSHIP AND LOYALTY: MANY STORIES
EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF FRIENDSHIP,
LOYALTY, AND SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS.
OVERCOMING ADVERSITY: STORIES OFTEN
FEATURE CHARACTERS WHO FACE
CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES,
DEMONSTRATING RESILIENCE,
EXAMPLES OF COMMON THEMES IN CHILDREN’S
LITERATURE:
SELF-DISCOVERY AND IDENTITY: CHILDREN’S
LITERATURE EXPLORES THE PROCESS OF SELF-
DISCOVERY, HELPING YOUNG READERS
UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN IDENTITIES AND
NAVIGATE THE COMPLEXITIES OF GROWING UP.
MORAL AND ETHICAL DILEMMAS: MANY STORIES
PRESENT MORAL AND ETHICAL DILEMMAS,
ENCOURAGING CHILDREN TO THINK CRITICALLY
ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG, FAIRNESS, AND
JUSTICE.
FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIPS: STORIES OFTEN
EXPLORE THE DYNAMICS OF FAMILY
MODE REFERS TO THE WAY A STORY IS TOLD—ITS
FORM, STYLE, AND METHOD OF PRESENTATION. IT
ENCOMPASSES VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE
NARRATIVE
Narrative Point of View: Is the story told from the
first-person (using “I”), third-person limited
(focusing on one character’s perspective), or third-
person omniscient (knowing the thoughts and
feelings of all characters)?
Genre: Does the story belong to the fantasy
genre, realistic fiction, historical fiction, mystery,
or another genre? The genre significantly
influences the narrative style and expectations.
LITERARY DEVICES: DOES THE AUTHOR EMPLOY RHYME,
RHYTHM, REPETITION, FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
(METAPHORS, SIMILES), OR OTHER LITERARY DEVICES?
THESE STYLISTIC CHOICES AFFECT THE TONE, PACING,
AND OVERALL IMPACT OF THE STORY.

Illustrations (in picture books): Illustrations are an


integral part of the mode in picture books. The style of
illustration, the use of color, and the composition of the
images all contribute to the overall meaning and impact
of the story.

Structure: Is the story linear (following a chronological


order) or nonlinear (using flashbacks or flash-forwards)?
The structure impacts how the story unfolds and the
reader’s experience.
MORAL /
REALIZATION
Morals are explicit or
implicit lessons about
right and wrong, good
and bad behavior, or
appropriate social
conduct.
EXPLICIT MORALS: THESE ARE
DIRECTLY STATED WITHIN THE
TEXT, OFTEN AT THE END OF A
STORY OR FABLE.
Implicit Morals: These are not
directly stated but are implied
through the characters’ actions,
consequences, and the overall
narrative arc.
TYPES OF MORAL LESSONS:
Honesty and Truthfulness: The importance of telling the truth
and the consequences of lying.
Kindness and Compassion: The value of empathy, helping
others, and showing compassion.
Responsibility and Accountability: Taking responsibility for
one’s actions and facing the consequences.
Perseverance and Hard Work: The importance of effort,
dedication, and overcoming challenges.
Respect for Others: Treating others with respect, regardless
of their differences.
Fairness and Justice: The importance of treating everyone
fairly and seeking justice.
REALIZATION
S
REALIZATIONS, UNLIKE
MORALS, ARE OFTEN MORE
PERSONAL AND
SUBJECTIVE. THEY
REPRESENT THE INSIGHTS,
UNDERSTANDINGS, OR
EPIPHANIES THAT
CHARACTERS (AND
READERS) GAIN DURING
THE COURSE OF A STORY.
TONE
TONE REFERS TO THE
AUTHOR’S ATTITUDE OR
FEELING TOWARD THE
