The narrative writing devices are important tools to engage in the students' writing, so it brings their stories to life. Narrative devices symbolism how the story is being told. In narrative devices the following are included: comparison, hyperbole, imagery, personification, symbolism, and tone. Students will become more independent to writing stories once they get a clear understanding of writing. It is important to encourage students to become great writers.
Comparison: Comparing two things that allow the students to understand things that are similar and different. An example would be a teacher having a theme for students to do a read aloud and make a game out of it. The students would read the stories then sort them to each game piece to match.
Hyperbole: Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or things that students can take directly. An example would be a teacher giving the students sentences to find the meaning of each sentence. The students would read a sentence then explain the hyperbole in each sentence.
Imagery: Imagery is using visual descriptive and nonliteral speech for students to remember things. An example the teacher can use activities with the five senses. The students can pick out different objects and describe the five senses. Personification: The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman for students to have a rapport with. An example would be a teacher doing a reading comprehension assignment. Students can pick the personification from an object, idea, or an animal that gives human attributes.
Symbolism: Using symbols helps the students to understand and represent ideas. An example would be a teacher first making sure that students know what symbolism is. We teach it every day by using symbolic things or objects we see. Tone: The general character or attitude of a place, piece of writing, situation. An example would be a teacher giving students multiple texts about the same topic, letting students illustrate different tones visually, or have the students act out a single scenario using a variety of tones.
