Four Types

An introduction should:

1. Introduce the topic.

2. Indicate how the topic is going to be developed (cause-effect, reasons, examples, classification, description, narration, or explanation).

3. Contain a thesis statement.

4. Be inviting and entice the reader to continue after reading the first sentence.

Funnel

Reveals background information leading to a focused thesis statement.

Birds, pigs, rats and other animals all have special talents which have been used by humans. Birds can talk, pigs can find truffles, rats can run wires through walls for plumbers. But no animal has quite as many special talents as dogs, especially when it comes to helping ranchers.

Dramatic

Unrolls as an eye-witness account.

Rubble from earthquake-stricken houses is lying everywhere. Precious lives are buried deep within the piles of dirt, concrete and debris. If rescue workers can locate these souls in time, their lives may be saved. Dog teams arrive. They will employ their amazing talents in this emergency situation.

Quotation

Uses a quote to lead to the thesis statement.

"Never trust a man [that] a dog doesn't like." the proverbs says. This somehow implies that dogs can tell the character of a person before a human can. In many ways this is true: dogs have amazing talents when it comes to assessing a person's character. But how do they do it? Pet behaviorists give the following explanations.

Turn About

Starts with the opposite idea and then moves to the focus.

Max was a cute dog, a Tibetan Terrier with a "winning smile", but he had annoying habit of "lifting his leg" on my furniture whenever I left him alone for more than a couple of hours. Half-way through our walks, he would roll on his back indicating he had walked far enough. I would have to carry him home. Just when I decided to give him up for adoption, he used his amazing talent as a "chick magnet" to find me the love of my life.

Grammar-Quizzes › More › Writing Aids › Writing Process › Spatial Organization

Narrating your story effectively

Storytelling is one of the oldest known forms of entertainment!

Add entertainment to your writing by considering:

how you reveal details

the order in which you will reveal the details

the descriptiveness you will use in the details

Spatial Organization

Movies often begin with the camera focused on an individual. Do you remember "Forrest Gump"? The movie begins with the image of Forrest sitting on a bench with his box of chocolates talking to the persons next to him. As the camera pans around we learn more about the town in which Forrest has grown up.

The director uses the focused camera view to move from the smaller to the larger picture. This method of organization causes the audience to take a viewpoint and slowly expand it until the larger situation is revealed. Little by little audience comes to understand the complexity of the whole situation or story.

Now You Try it!

Practice with picture Sequence

YOUR IMMPRESSION

IMAGE

1. What is your first impression of the girl's situation in the picture?

2. What additional information can you guess about her situation?

Note that details are slowly being added revealing more of the girl's situation.

3. As you look around the room, what details are revealed?

(Your movement to the left adds more information, another person, and more information.)

4. How does your impression of the girl's situation change?

5. Reverse spatial movement. (Pan left or right, and then zoom in on the girl's face and her expression.)

How different would the story be if the writer began with the larger scene and then zoomed in on the main character's face?

Comments from Above Practice

Compare your first impressions to those of other people who visited this site.

1. Viewers' first impressions:

1. The girl is surprised (by what is still unclear.)

2. The girl is thinking. (adjectives: pensive, introspective, lost in thought)

3. The girl hears something.

2. Viewers' impressions of the situation as we look to the left of the picture where the untidy or messy state of the room is revealed: the viewer wonders what connection the girl has to the mess.

1. Is she sitting in a place that is messy?

2. Has she made the place messy?

3. Viewers' impressions of the woman standing in the doorway: responses vary according to age and choice of perspective (whose shoes you want to stand in).

1. The woman is angry because the girl is in her (the woman's) room. (trespassing)

2. The woman is angry because the girl hasn't cleaned up her room and is "goofing off" or wasting time. (rule enforcement)

3. The woman is the girl's mother and is frustrated because she sees a repeated behavior problem: laziness, messiness, distraction, lack of motivation. (ineffective parenting)

4. The girl is frustrated because her mother is intruding into her personal space. (disturbance / imposition)

"I work and study all day. I want just 5 minutes to relax. Instead, you feel you have to come in and yell at me!"

"Why do you have to be so obsessive about cleaning all day, Mom? I'll do it before I go to bed."

"Why do you judge people on their tidiness or untidiness? Einstein wasn't tidy. "

4. Viewer's final impressions of the girl:

The girl is lazy, useless, careless, bum, indolent, spoiled, self-indulgent.

The girl is persecuted, oppressed, harassed.

The girl is sad, depressed, overwhelmed, stressed-out.

The girl is misunderstood, misjudged.

The girl is in her Karma.

5. Viewers thoughts about the sequence of focus:

1. The focus is best when starting on the girl because we take her perspective or mindset before we have a chance to make a character judgment based on her room.

2. It wouldn't make any difference whether you focus on the whole room and then the girl.

3. The focus would be better to start with the mother and then move to the girl (so that we can understand the parental perspective.)

4. The focus would be better to start with the whole room and then zoom in on the girl and "her world" (so that the writer would try to reverse our first impression of / judgment on the girl.)

Telling an Anecdote

Assignment:

Tell an anecdote, an entertaining story, about a situation that happened to you while you were growing up.

Objectives:

Narrate a story using time or spatial sequence

Use past, past continuous and past perfect tense

Ideas:

a "repeat offender" situation with your parents (the condition of your room, coming home late, practicing an instrument, having an unannounced party.)

an on-going "joke" or feud between siblings

an adventure with family or friends that went wrong

Use spatial organization to reveal the details of the situation beginning with the focus on your viewpoint and then expanding to include the larger context of the situation.

Narrate the story using time or spatial sequence

Use adverbial clauses of time, condition and contrast

Taking a Different Perspective

The "Shadow" in My Room

When I was eighteen, finding a few moments to do what I wanted was difficult. With homework, college entrance exams and essays hanging over my head, I rarely had a chance to just sit and reflect or read a magazine. My room was my place -- my books, clothes, bed and all my stuff -- my place to relax.

In my room, I knew where everything was. My clothes had a logical cycle: on the floor, on me, in the washer, in the dryer, and back to my floor. How else could I see what I wanted to put on unless I could clearly see it laid out on the floor? With so little time and so much to do my organization worked for me.

The "shadow" was my mother who would suddenly appear at my doorway. It seemed that whenever I would sit down and relax for a moment, there she was! She never directly said, "Clean up your room." She would say other things like, "I'm surprised you can even find a place to sit in this room!", or "Is this your idea of order?", or "What if your friends drop by and see this?" These were questions to which I never responded. They were meant to motivate me to clean up my room, but they had no effect. This was, simply, not an issue on which we could agree. Little did she know that most of my friends' rooms looked about and same.

Later that fall, I went off to college, my roommate was very nice. We got along on almost everything, except one thing. She was a terrible slob! -- That's right, she was even messier than I was. She dropped her stuff on her side, on my side -- everywhere. It was embarrassing when friends from other dorms came to visit me. I had to shove her stuff, books, bras, hair brush and other personal items, back onto her side. One day, I came in and found her sitting on my bed reading a book and I asked her why she wasn't sitting on her own bed. She said, "There's no room on it." I frowned, and yes, I realized I had become "the shadow".

Nothing I said could convince her to be less messy and stop invading my side of the room, which was very small like most dorm rooms. As a result, I often went home on the weekends just to have a little 'personal space'. I enjoyed being back in my room -- back in my space.

One Sunday evening as I was packing to return to school I was very surprised to hear my mom say, "There's nothing quite as sad as a clean, empty room."
