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.
