Story Structures.

A good story must be well-organized and clear to the reader/listener.


Ask yourself: "What is this story about?"


Basic journalistic structures:
1. Inverted PyramidThe most important information appears at beginning , which leads the story. As you progress down the triangle, it becomes progressively less important.
2. ChronologicalTells what happened in the order it happened.
3. NarrativeUses vivid descriptions to set scenes; involves the reader with the writing as though a novel/short story.
4. ThematicAddresses various aspects of a complex story, individually, layering and division of information
