Lesson Plan
Lesson 10: Writing a Narrative – Independent Writing
A 60 minute lesson in which students will independently write a narrative, 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 plan and write a narrative text independently.
Teacher Instruction
- Project the 5 Narrative Writing Stimulus Sheets on the board. Read through each stimulus as a class. Explain to the students that they will be writing their narrative text based on a stimulus of their choosing.
- Remind the students to apply their knowledge of narrative text structure, language and features when writing their narrative.
- Provide the students with a copy of the Narrative Writing Planning Template, Narrative Writing Checklist – Structure, Language and Features and the stimulus they have chosen for their story.
Guided/Independent Learning
- Monitor and support the students as they write their narratives. 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
- Once the students have finishing writing their narratives, encourage them to proofread and edit their work.
- Teachers may wish to collect this piece of writing and use it to assess students’ understanding of the unit objectives. The Narrative Writing – Assessment Rubric may be a helpful tool for teachers during this process.
Differentiation
Extending Students
- Encourage strong writers to challenge themselves by allowing a peer (or the teacher) to select a writing stimulus for them.
Supporting Students
- Support weaker writers through the planning process, so they have a clear direction for writing.
Assessment Strategies
Suggested Assessment Strategies
- used strategic whole class or individual questioning
- observed student participation during learning activities
- recorded student progress on a checklist
- annotated student work samples
- collected and reviewed student work samples
- facilitated whole class or peer feedback sessions
- encouraged student self-reflection
- administered formal assessment tasks.

Hi Chloe,
PowerPoints are created using the Microsoft Office Suite. You can create other presentations using other software from Apple or Google, however, we don’t provide them here.
If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
