When
we plan to write a narrative essay for SPM English Paper 1, section B: Continuous Writing, we have to bear in mind
of making our essay exciting and impressive. The first thing to do is
study the question carefully, understand the scope of the question, then
draw a rough plot from the beginning , rising action, climax, falling
action, and resolution.
Then
we should decide the theme, moral values, characters and scenes of
events. The theme of the story is the central message and the moral
values are the lessons that we have learned from the story. In order to make
our story alive, name the settings/places of our story, then describe the
scenes of the places.
A part from that, name the characters and reveal their characteristics by writing
about their actions, reactions, thoughts, speeches and what other
characters say about them. We also have to elaborate the sequence of
events and incidents, what happen, how did it happen, why did it happen,
who was involved and when did it happen?
Please
don’t forget to describe the scenes, characters, events and incidents
using our 5 senses, what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste and add
appropriate adjectives and adverbs. We can also use phrases, idioms,
sayings or expressions to make our narration lively and impressive too.
The
marking scheme for continuous writing will be based on impression, as
its holistic marking, where scoring involves the assigning of a single
score to a piece of writing based on a “whole” reading of the essay.
The examiner will fit the candidate’s response to the most appropriate
band, by referring to upper and lower bands and the marks depend on the
number of criteria that are found in the script that matches the band.
Please
make sure the language used is accurate, use varied sentence
structures (simple, compound, complex, compound/complex sentences), and
the use of vocabulary is correct, precise and wide. Write well-planned
paragraphs, unified and appropriately linked, and make sure the tone
and mood suites the story creating interest,arousing mood and
sustaining creativeness throughout the story.
Write
from your heart, so that you can feel being the characters as by doing
so you will be more expressive in your narrative writing...
