Timeframe
A. Introduction 50 mins In this topic you will learn how to evaluate narratives based on how the
Panimula author developed the elements such as the character and the setting.
Knowing this, your literary appreciation will be developed and your
vocabulary and comprehension skills may be improved. You will also learn the
virtue of courage and bravery that exist in the different stories that you are
going to read.

After going through this lesson, you are expected to evaluate narratives
based on how the author developed the elements, character and setting
(heroes and villains)
Reading good stories will enhance your knowledge and literacy skills,
spark imagination and will stimulate your curiosity. Without these elements,
(character and setting) stories would not be great and reading would not be
fun.

The Setting of the story refers to the geographic location (places or

scene) and time within a narrative. It makes the story vivid and interesting.
Usually, the setting is not said directly, instead, clues are given for the readers
to infer. Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story.

Read and understand the given example of setting in a story:

As the sun set in the horizon, Jim fixed his things and slowly walked his way
home. It was dark and silent. At a distance, he could see his father peeping at
the window waiting for someone. Father came home from the city where he
is currently working. Though it was lonely at times for Jim missing his father,
seeing him home once a month makes him happy.
Time Place
nighttime Jim’s home

Characters are an important element in short stories because they drive

the story as a whole. Characters who created tension or trouble that would
lead to problem/conflict marked as bad guy is the antagonist or villain. Those
characters who portray the role of good guy are the heroes or the protagonist.
Without these two types of characters, narrative would not turn interesting.
Characters can be evaluated through their personal qualities and traits.

Read and understand the given example of characters in a story:

Jazz was alone at home when someone knocked at the door. Jumping up
from her seat, she ran to open the door. “Do you have internet connection?”
asked the stranger. Jazz was scared and nervous. She was actually expecting
her mother at the door. She wanted to shut the door but it was too late. The
stranger was so rude that he had already pushed her inside the house.
