Blog Week 2B

As I emphasize the importance of applying narrative elements in reading comprehension.  It is critical for all to learn and retain comprehension strategies in order to dissect readings.  Comprehension strategies must be taught at an early age and must be practiced on an everyday basis.  In doing so, this will give readers and writers clearly an advantage in a 'self-regulated fashion' to enhance comprehension in school, work, and life.  The more knowledge one has the less problems will occur comprehending.

The various structural elements are the setting, characters, plot, and theme.  Utilizing the strategies will help the reader break down the plot, which has four parts.  The plot consists, the problem of the story, the response of the character(s), what action was taken, and the outcome.  There are also the subplots, which are the individual episodes.  A narrative must encompass these elements to uphold structure.  Without structure you will lose your audience.
