Writing A Narrative Poster
Display this poster in your room as a visual reminder of the structure of a narrative.
Use this poster when your students are writing a narrative. They can check off each step as they have added it into their piece of writing, just like on the poster.
Print the poster out on tabloid size, laminate it and display it somewhere accessible in your room so your students can refer to it throughout the writing process.
Pair this with the Narrative Writing Checklist so they can physically tick off each step and stick it in at the end of their piece of text.
