Develop a narrative sequence using paragraphing, shifts and transitions.

This narrative writing objective is about organising events so a story feels controlled from opening to ending. Students should use paragraphing, time shifts, viewpoint changes and transitions to guide the reader through a clear sequence. The key skill is coherence: each paragraph should move the story forward, reveal something new or change the reader's focus. In the exam, avoid random scene changes or abrupt jumps that confuse the narrative. Show how each shift connects to character, setting, tension or resolution. A strong answer makes paragraph breaks, transitions and sequence choices feel purposeful rather than accidental.
