Introduction
(10 minutes)- Read aloud an example of narrative writing, such as The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant.
- Invite students to share what the story was about. Ask them to turn and talk to a peer, then have a few students share out their ideas with the class.
- Share with students that one way to think about a narrative is to think of what happened in order using the following frame: First…Then…Finally…
- Ask students to think about what strong emotion or feeling the story was about. Ask students to reflect on what they think the author wanted readers to know after reading.
