Creating a Title

Catch the Attention of the Audience

Let's Start With What NOT To Do

Here is how you shouldn't title your narrative writing.

The time I...

Don't give away the plot in the title.

All About...

This won't make readers curious about your story.

Let there be some mystery in your title

Help me out - my title is on the next slide. Write a better one that would make people interested.

Open Ended

Fix This Title:

My First Time on a Zipline

Now for the rules

• The first and last word MUST be capitalized.

• Example: Lady and the Tramp

• Example: How to Train Your Dragon

Capitalize all other words except:

• articles (a, an, the)

• conjunctions (the fanboys)

• prepositions (yes - I know we haven't learned about these)

Here are some correct titles:

• Over the Moon

• The Lion King

• Ant Man and the Wasp

• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
