Students will need to bring their completed work from the previous lessons to this lesson. If you would like students to draft on a computer instead, a digital copy of the final worksheet is provided.
A Sample Story Plan can be used to support students during this lesson or in future lessons if students were absent.
Students may need multiple writing sessions in addition to this lesson to complete their drafts. Students should have completed a first draft before moving on to the next lesson.
Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.
Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.
Orient the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.
Use a variety of transitional words and phrases to manage the sequence of events.
Provide a conclusion that follows from the narrated experiences or events.
Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1–3 above.)
