Narrative Writing - Presentation
This presentation is an excellent resource for teachers introducing and revisiting Narrative Writing. The presentation begins by looking at the narrative structure and common features for students to include at a Year 3 level. It then looks more closely at different features, providing a variety of examples and practice activities for teachers to use as scaffolds for student learning. It provides opportunities for explicit teaching, independent work, group work and class discussions. Students can demonstrate their understanding by completing questions and activities in their workbooks or on whiteboards.
Learning goals
- We are learning to plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts using text structures and language features appropriate to the audience and purpose.
- We are learning to create and edit imaginative texts by using or adapting language features, characters, settings and plot structures, e.g. changing the setting, revising an ending.
- We are learning to create imaginative texts based on familiar characters, settings and events from various cultures drawing from and innovating on texts we have read, e.g. revising an ending.
- We are learning to create multimodal texts that adapt language features and patterns encountered in literary texts, e.g. characterisation, rhyme, rhythm, mood, music, sound effects and dialogue.
- We are learning to plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts using text structures and language features appropriate to the audience and purpose.
- We are learning to re-read and edit texts for appropriate meaning, structure, grammatical choices and punctuation.
- We are learning to use software, e.g. MS Word or PowerPoint to plan, sequence, compose and edit multimodal texts featuring visual, print and audio elements.
