In a lesson plan focused on narrative writing, the teacher first introduces the topic, outlining goals and providing a definition of narrative writing. The students are then given a list of acceptable topics to choose from, allowing them to select one that interests them and begin plotting their story.
Teacher and students will work together to identify strengths and weaknesses, what should be kept or what should be removed along with the reasons why, in an attempt to make their writing better. Teacher and students will also explore what role each element plays and why each element is crucial
Step 6: Clarify
Teacher will ask random question on what was taught to see what students understand or may need further clarification with. If there are are weak areas the teacher will revisit the area with students and explain using new examples where applicable
Step 7: Provision of Topics
A list of acceptable topics is provided by the teacher
Each student will select a topic then that interests him/her and begin plotting (mapping) out his/her story.
Step 8: Writing
Students will complete and submit their stories for evaluation
Teacher will carry out evaluation and subsequently provide feedback.
Step 4: Practice Writing
Whole Class (Developmental) Activity
Teacher and students will agree on a topic and students will take turns adding a sentence each to develop the complete story. Each sentence added must observe or demonstrate active use of one of the elements. Students should also be able to identify the elements s/he is using.
[
Teacher and students work together to construct a short story. This can either be done orally or in writing.
Step 3: Discussion
Teacher will engage students in whole class discussions. They will discuss the elements present in the samples. Teacher will ask students to share personal observations of these elements as well as ask them to identify where else they have seen these element, e.g. books, movies, music, etc. To cement the connections between students' exposure and the lesson the teacher will explain to students that the movies are an example of Narrative Writing; they begin in written form then they are transformed through acting; but they are not presented to the audience in writing unlike books.
Step 2: Teaching Aids
Teacher distributes various samples of narrative writing e.g. newspaper article, book, magazines, speech, poems, song lyrics, etc.
Together, the Teacher and students will thoroughly examine the structure and content of the samples.
Step 1: INTRODUCTION
