Introduction to Narrative Writing

Description.

In this first lesson, students are introduced to narrative writing. The lesson begins with an introduction to the writing process and to annotation. Then, student pairs or small groups examine a narrative model and discuss what they notice about the way the writer organizes the elements of the story. The teacher then provides direct instruction on the components of effective narrative writing, using the model as an example.

This video features two of our ARPDC Consultants: Charlie Kraig and Jodi Taylor as they share some explicit strategies you can add to your lessons. Topics include examining test questions as a text structure (just like you would for any text in your class) and how to support your students’ planning for both tasks in the written portion.

Below the video you will find the slide deck (with lots of links in the speaker notes as well as the slides) and an additional handout from the original session.
