AWA: Academic Writing at Auckland

Narratives are used in a variety of ways. They can report time-based events in a truthful way, but they can also include a creative element. They may have a setting, a complicating action and a resolution, but not all Narratives use this. In AWA, Narratives include Recounts of events, Ethnographies, and Reflective writing, for example where the writer reflects on progress and problems encountered during a larger assignment project.
