Lesson Plan
Lesson 12: Narrative Skills – Shared Writing
A 60 minute lesson in which students will write a narrative, in pairs, using appropriate text structure, language and features.
This lesson plan includes the following resources:
Lesson Plan
Tuning In
- Explain to the students that they are now going to use their narrative plan and their sensational story starter paragraph to write the remainder of their narrative.
Teacher Instruction
- Provide the students with a copy of the Narrative Writing Checklist – Lower Years or the Narrative Writing Checklist – Structure, Language and Features (depending on the needs and ability levels of the class). Read through the checklist with the students. Encourage the students to refer to this checklist frequently during the writing process.
Guided/Independent Learning
- Working in their writing pairs, allow the students to write the remainder of their narrative texts. Monitor and support the students as required.
- Teachers may wish to set a time limit for writing, or they may allow the students to take as much time as they need to complete the task. Ensure that the students know exactly how much time they have and provide regular reminders of how much time is remaining.
Wrapping Up
- Check on how the students are progressing with their narratives. Depending on the time limit set for writing, the students may need another lesson to complete their stories.
Differentiation
Extending Students
- Allow more confident writers to work individually, rather than in pairs (if they wish to do so).
Supporting Students
- Allow students who find writing challenging to work with a teacher or teacher aide during the pair activity.
