Narrative Writing

Our new writing unit is centred around "Narratives".  Students are examining the elements of a story and assessing what makes a story "a good read".  Using mentor texts and strong samples, students will be writing parts of stories and later complete narratives over the next several weeks.

Students will brainstorm adjectives and phrases to describe different settings.  They will learn how to tell about the character through character dialogue and actions.  They will also determine possible problems and reasonable solutions before they begin to write.

We will be sharing our original stories with our peers and with our reading buddies.
