An informative writing informs or explains a topic. You want readers to learn from your report, instructions, or explanation.
Narrative
There are three types of narratives. An imaginative narrative or fictional story about characters and events that are made up; A non-fictional narrative or story based on real people and events; A personal narrative or true story about something that happened to the writer. You want readers to understand the situation, recognize characters, and follow the plot.
