Narration
Description
This is a kind of writing that creates a word
picture of what something or someone is
like. Description is made up of sensory
details that help readers form pictures in
their minds.
Description also uses images, words that
appeal to one or more of our five senses:
sight, hearing, taste, touch, or smell.
Imagery can be found in all sorts of writing
(and should be), but it is most common in
poetry.

Science fiction is fantasy writing that tells about makebelieve events that include science or technology. Often,
science fiction is set in the future, on distant planets, or
among alien races.
Novels. A novel is a long work of fiction. The elements of
a novelplot, characterization, setting, and themeare
developed in detail. Novels usually have one main plot
and several less important subplots.
Poetry. Poetry is a type of writing in which words are
selected for their beauty, sound, and power to express
feelings. Traditionally, poems had a specific rhythm and
rhyme, but such modern poetry as free verse does not
have a regular beat, rhyme, or line length. Most poems
are written in lines, which are arranged together in
groups called stanzas.
