LEARNING MODULE 6

WEEKS 7 - 9
OCT. 12-16, 26 – 30, 2020
Topic : Tips in writing a short literary piece
Learning Competencies : Write a draft of a short piece (fiction, nonfiction, poetry and drama) using any of the
literary conventions of genre following these pointers:
1. choosing a topic;
2. formulating a Thesis Statement;
3. organizing and developing ideas;
4. using any literary conventions of a genre; and ensuring the theme and technique are effectively developed
Learning Goal : Write a draft of a short literary piece (fiction).
CONCEPT NOTES: STEPS IN WRITING A SHORT LITERARY PIECE

I. CHOOSING A TOPIC
- Brainstorm ideas. Write down what themes interest you. The key is to identify what subject will keep you
motivated. Example: Love, Death, Hope,
- Identify your personal expertise. Having prior knowledge on one of your favorite themes will expedite your
writing process. It helps your confidence too if you already feel a bit like an expert.
- Research your top themes. Do a bit of background research on your favorite theme.
- Narrow your topic. After doing your research, pick the topic that makes the best candidate for writing.

II. FORMULATING A THESIS STATEMENT

- Define your position on the situation. Your thesis statement should state where you stand and why.
This should be written in about one sentence with concise details. Other parts of your introduction will give
background details to support where your opinion came from and why you support it.
- Consider elements necessary to prove your point. Think about details that make your point valid.
Depending on the content you are giving an opinion about, you may need to review it again to ensure your
points are

ORGANIZING AND DEVELOPING IDEAS

When writing the first draft of your text, focus on content only. Remember the following
points
The opening paragraph (introduction) should present the topic.
The body (discussion) paragraphs should each present one aspect of the general
topic and begin with a topic sentence that will orient the reader to what follows within
the paragraph. Provide enough supporting sentences for the topic sentence, using
examples, explanations, facts, opinions, and quotes.
The ending (conclusion) should present summative remarks and repeat the text’s key
idea or thesis in other words. Try to finish with a strong statement that will have your
reader asking for more.
Try to diversify the words and phrases you use as much as possible, using synonyms,
descriptive and figurative language, while considering the expected writing style of
your text.
If time permits, read your draft very generally and redraft, making immediate global changes
you feel are urgent. Don’t be too harsh on yourself and do not focus on fine nuances in
meaning at this point.
USING ANY LITERARY CONVENTIONS OF A GENRE
Narration. Narration is how the narrator communicates directly to the reader.
Description. Transmitting a mental image of the particulars of a story through descriptions.
Exposition. May be used to add drama to a story, but too much exposition at one time may
slow the pace of the story.
Summarization. Condenses events to convey, rather than to show, what happens
 within a story. Effective use of summarization requires a balance between showing and telling,
action and summary, with rhythm, pace and tone playing a role.
Introspection. Used to convey the thoughts of a character, allowing the expression of normally
unexpressed thoughts.
Recollection. A character remembers a detail or event. It plays a vital role in conveying
backstory by allowing writers to convey information from earlier in the story or from before the
beginning of the story.
Emotion. Conveys the feelings of the character, and is a vital component of creative writing.
Action. Action is the demonstration of events as they are happening in a story, and may help
readers feel as if they were participating in the plot.
ENSURING THE THEME AND TECHNIQUES ARE EFFECTIVELY DEVELOPED
Theme. the universal idea, lesson, or message that stretches through the entire text. Common
literary themes are:
Love. universal and multi-faceted theme Ex. First love, lost love, forbidden love, unrequited love,
and many more.
Death. exploration of grief after loss of a loved one.
Coming of Age. features experiences of a young character that leads to loss of
innocence and/or a change of mindset.
Power. features power over other people through the power over life and death itself.
Survival. usually pit characters against an external force such the environment, a disease or a
powerful antagonist.
Heroism. stories about characters who are essentially destined for greatness and heroes who
achieve greatness despite the odds.
Prejudice. features characters’ changing ways of thinking for the better and/or explorations of
destructive consequences.
Individual vs. Society. revolves around a main character who is something of an outsider and
having struggles fitting in society’s expectation.
War. exposing the horrors of real-world wars, to speculative fiction stories featuring epic battles
between fantastical characters.
Techniques. Are ways to develop the theme in writing literary pieces. Some techniques are:
Flashback. circumvents the principle of chronological arrangement of events.
Symbolism. a literary technique that refers to the use of symbols and/or representations.
Irony. meant to infuse more life into one’s writing. It could either be verbal (an utterance
contradicts the reality of a given situation) or situational (event is opposite of what one intended).
Scene. believably realistic and descriptive imagery present in the text.
Dialogue. Verbal exchange
