Third-person Narratives
Third-person narratives are written in the third person (he/she/they/etc.) and are real or imaginary stories about another person or other people. A third-person narrative should consist of:
• an introduction in which you set the scene (who was involved, time, place, etc.) in an interesting way to help the reader imagine the scene and want to continue reading;
• a main body consisting of two or more paragraphs in which you develop your story presenting the events in the order that they happened;
• a conclusion in which you say what happened in the end and refer to people's feelings or reactions.
Introduction
Set the scene (who - where - when - what)
Main body
Develop the story: give a detailed description of the events in the order they happened.
Conclusion
End the story. Add feelings, comments and reactions.
