Teacher Insights

-
In writing any composition students should keep in mind the following writing traits:
-
Ideas/Content
-
Organization
-
Vocabulary
-
Sentence Fluency
-
Grammar/Mechanics
-
Narrative writing is writing that tells a story. This writing is experiential, personal, and/or biographical.
-
Effective narrative writing tells a story in such a way that the audience learns a lesson or gains insight (theme) in a way that enables the audience to connect with the narrative.
-
Narrative writing should include literary elements (the essential parts used in storytelling in almost all types of literature including setting, plot, characters, theme, conflict, and archetypes).
-
Narrative writing may include literary devices (figurative language, irony, foreshadowing/flashback, dialogue, imagery, symbolism, etc.) .
-
There are many different ways to write narratives; here are two references that explain how to get started: Purdue OWL and Roane State OWL.
-
Authentic writing often involves blending multiple modes of writing (argument, informative, narrative) in order to achieve a specific purpose.
-
Narrative writing can be a part of argumentative writing because the insight into one person’s life actually presents a new perspective to an issue that readers had not previously considered. Someone’s personal story can make an appeal to pathos as readers empathize with the writer, and the readers are considering a new point of view and/or receiving a clear, direct story--an example--as evidence for a claim.
-
Narrative writing can be blended into an informational mode if the writer decides to incorporate a story in order to illustrate a major concept.
- Example prompt: Think about something that happened to you that you’ll never forget. Write about what happened, who was involved, and where it happened. Make sure you capture what makes that event hard to forget. (More example prompts)
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
