This lesson plan aligns with South Carolina's English Language Arts Standards for narrative writing and reading comprehension.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Narratives | 10 min | Briefly introduce narrative elements (setting, character, plot) through discussion. Ask students to share examples of narratives. |
| 2 | Guided Reading | 15 min | Distribute the short narrative text. Read aloud with the class, stopping to discuss key elements and ask comprehension questions. |
| 3 | Group Discussion | 10 min | Divide the class into small groups. Each group discusses the narrative's elements and how they contribute to the overall story. Groups will share insights with the class. |
| 4 | Writing Prompt | 10 min | Present a writing prompt related to the narrative text. Students begin drafting their own short narratives based on the prompt. |
| 5 | Sharing and Feedback | 5 min | Students swap narratives with a partner for peer feedback. Encourage constructive and positive comments. |
| 6 | Wrap-up | 5 min | Regroup and summarize the key elements of narrative writing discussed. Assign homework. |
Students will complete their short narratives started in class and submit them by the next lesson. A buddy will review the narrative for grammatical and structural feedback, which each student will self-reflect on without presenting it in class.
