Narrative Writing Life acquires meaning in the telling

Professional Learning on Narrative Writing  Objectives – Teachers will:  Practice and review how to align the standard, objective, lesson, and focus question  Explore components of Narrative Writing  Engage in the use of Graphic Organizers to augment the Narrative Writing experience

Session Description  We will address the standard, an example objective, and focus questions  We will address what an actual lesson could look like  We will briefly reflect  We will provide a peer edit work sheet

Narrative Writing/Indicators THE STANDARD KCK11W –Write narratives to develop real or imaginary experiences or events using effective technique, well chosen details, and well structured event sequences.

Narrative writing beyond the standard  Why do we ask kids to write narratives?

Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott  “For me and most other writers I know, writing is not rapturous. In fact, the only way I can get anything written at all is to write really, really shitty first drafts” (p 22).

Faulkner’s Map 

Tools for Exploration

Reflection  Would this strategy, or something similar, assist in getting kids to find meaning in narrative writing?  Once this introductory piece is complete, how might you build on this writing piece to move it beyond a shitty first draft?
