Narrative Writing

Akopọ

Narrative writing is the second composition choice on Paper 2 Section B, worth a full 40 marks. Its job is to tell a story that a reader actually wants to follow: a story with a clear shape, characters who feel real, and moments of tension or surprise that are earned, not announced. The marks reward craft, not plot. A simple situation told with skill beats a complicated one told as a flat list of events, and the candidates who score highest are those who make the reader care about a character, not those who cram in the most happenings.

This lesson shows you how the 40 marks split (16 for content and structure, 24 for style and accuracy), how to shape a story so it rises to a real climax, how to reveal character through what people do and say, and how to craft an opening and an ending that land. You will see a flat opening rewritten into a gripping one, a fully annotated model paragraph, and a complete worked task with a model response.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. Write engaging narrative with a clear structure, controlled plot and convincing characters.
  2. Use viewpoint, dialogue and pace to interest a reader.
  3. Craft openings and endings that have deliberate impact.

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

On Paper 2 Section B you choose ONE composition, narrative or descriptive, for 40 marks. Of those, 24 are for style and accuracy and 16 for content and structure. That weighting is the first thing to absorb: more than half the marks reward HOW you write, not what happens. A story is not a marks machine that runs on plot; it runs on craft. The candidates who do best shape the narrative deliberately, vary the pace, build credible characters, and control the language, while weaker answers pile up events and forget the reader. Narrative is the choice that rewards a writer who can make a small moment matter.
