Studying Narrative is a collection of resources for teaching about aspects of narrative. It offers comprehensive and clear explanations of key concepts, with short, pithy critical extracts on both concepts and texts (including David Lodge and other OCR recommended writers) and lively classroom materials and approaches to teach them. Sections include: narrative voice, narrative viewpoint, structure, themes, character, genre, dialogue, experiments in narrative. There is an introductory section on ‘What is narrative?’ and a separate section on narrative poetry. The publication also includes concept cards which can be used in a range of different ways.
Activities focus on popular texts in the new 2008 specifications, including: The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice, Great Expectations, Wide Sargasso Sea, Jane Eyre, Dubliners, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Wuthering Heights, In Cold Blood, The Color Purple, God of Small Things, Small Island and many more. Individual activities, based on extracts, can also be adapted for use with a wide range of different texts.
Written by Barbara Bleiman & Lucy Webster, drawing on materials and ideas from their popular course on Teaching Narrative.
