Scaffolded Grade 2 Narrative Writing Assessment Pack – Zoo Adventure Theme

Bring narrative writing to life in your classroom with this engaging Grade 2 Narrative Writing Assessment Pack, built around a fun and familiar zoo‑adventure theme. This resource gives students everything they need to plan, draft and publish a narrative — while giving teachers the tools to assess student writing with clarity and consistency.

Inside the pack, students work through a guided sequence: exploring a model text, answering story comprehension questions, planning each stage of their own narrative, drafting their story, and editing using a student‑friendly checklist.

A detailed narrative writing assessment rubric for Grade 2 is also included to support assessment, moderation, and reporting.
