narrative writing workshop

general information

narrative tab in binder

Every student has a tab in their binder that is labeled "Narrative."

In this section they will keep all the tips and examples provided.

They will also print out and keep their personal narrative writing in this section.

google docs

Students will do their writing on a Google doc, not on regular lined paper. This is done at school on a Chrome book. At home they can continue writing by signing in to their account on a device at home. They have already practiced how to start, share, and name Google docs. 

writing is a process

Any kind of writing involves planning, writing, editing, and revising.

So, for each genre of writing, we will take it step by step. I will provide support and modeling each step of the way.

Multiple grades will be given for the different parts of the writing and the stages we are in as we write.

we are working on fictional narratives


As we go through this process I will model how to write a narrative.

You can refer below to my model. There is a plot map and model of all four required events. 

This is a step by step process and a lot of support and time will be provided in class.

WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS:

1. We are finished writing our plot maps. 

If approved, there will be a teacher initial next to each of the 4 events.

2. We are writing the hook and event 1 week of October 7. If it isn't done in class by Thursday, it is officially "leftovers" and will need to be finished at home.

COMING UP:

1.  Write the 2nd event (rising action).

2.. Write the 3rd event (climax).

4.  Write the 4th events (resolution).


We will not do all this in one week. The Listening Post each week will explain what part of the process we are working on.
