Narrative
A story is when we talk or write about things that happen. We can tell real stories about people's lives or news. We can also make up stories like fairy tales or big adventure books. Stories can be told using words, pictures, or both. The word for telling stories comes from an old language called Latin. Telling stories is an important way to share ideas and teach lessons. Long ago, people told stories out loud to teach children how to act, to share the history of their people, and what was important in their culture. Today, we tell stories in many ways, not just by talking. We use books, plays, music, comics, movies, TV, and even video games. We can put stories into different groups.
