Narrative Work This Week

Spring Narrative Draft Due Friday 2/24

FINAL COPY DUE MONDAY 2/27


Goal setting is important to success. Each student received a Narrative Timeline sheet that they are expected to fill out daily, including their goals and action steps that show how they plan to finish their narrative by Friday, 2/24. Here is the Narrative Timeline. 

In the classroom we do a mini lesson each day focused on one part of the narrative. Below are the resources from the mini lessons that are available. 

Rubric -- this is the same rubric as the Fall Narrative. Students are expected to use their feedback from their Fall Narrative to make improvements and show growth on their Spring Narrative.

The most common issues we see in 6th grade writing are knowing when/how to separate paragraphs and knowing how to format dialogue.

Paragraph help! -- You must INDENT every time there is a new idea/event AND whenever a new person is talking! See below! 


Formatting Dialogue



Final drafts of stories are due February 27 on Google Docs.
