SLC: Line of Argument and Narratives

Coherent Narrative

---

 

A coherent narrative needs to make logical sense. In other words, a beginning, a middle and an end.

 

Having a clear structure makes it easier for the listener to understand your line of argument.

 

Whilst listening to peers’ presentations, do not get distracted by irrelevant information or emotive language unless it is a story or a description.

The Constellation Technique

---

 

To figure out the main points of their text, the constellation technique can be used.

 

1. Write down the main points of a narrative across your page
2. Join up the points like a dot-to-dot!

 

This will help you to follow a person’s line of argument!
