Narratives

Last week we completed our Narrative stories. Students had the opportunity to write their own Narrative stories and referenced a checklist to help keep them on track. We used the Padlet that we created together with Mme. Erskine's Grade 4 class to recall what Narratives must have.

We participated in the 5 Sentence Challenge for homework where we were challenged to write a narrative paragraph. Students really enjoy this challenge. They get to receive comments from participants from around the world!

For our final Narrative task, we came up with our own story line and tried to be as creative as we could when writing our own stories. We worked with a partner to read and edit our work. We wrote our good copies on our KidBlogs. Our goal was to share the story creatively with our partners on KidBlog so that after we read the stories, we could offer comments. The students love reading one another's blog posts. It is powerful to receive comments from our friends. The comments help us become better writers. They also give us a real life audience!

Please go to our KidBlog accounts to view or read the Narrative stories of our classmates. We always welcome anyone to comment on our blogs!

We used some tools to share our writing in a creative way after writing our good copies. Some students recorded themselves reading. Others used an app to draw  a picture and narrate their story.
