6 minutes

The academic content is in Arabic, as at the BAC and as in the app.

What the syllabus expects from you

  • Short narrative text / story with a clear beginning-middle-end, based on an ancient myth

The method

  1. Order events chronologically with time connectors before drafting

The common mistakes

  • Present tense creeping into a past narrative
  • No clear sequence of events

The kind of exercise that comes up at the BAC

  • Narrative on an ancient myth medium

    given myth outline → narrative text (first draft → error check → final)

From the lesson

The vocabulary

  • myth (أسطورة)
  • sequence of events (تسلسل الأحداث)
