Students have been preparing for the Writing Process for some time now! Here are some samples of Graphic Organizers we are using to Plan our Narratives:

This is for development of Characters / Settings...Idea Generating!!!

This is our Graphic Organizer for the Planning Process:

Graphic Organizer – Story Map for Narratives
Setting:                                                   When/Time:                                                     Where/Place:






Who/What/Where/When/How/Why – Use the 5 senses and JUICY descriptive words!!!
Major Characters:




Minor Characters:


Problem/Conflict/Issue/Struggle/Opposition:





What happens? Plot/Events/Rising Action/Movement of the story:










Resolution/Conclusion/Most exciting or decisive moment/Moral:








It is expected that this be completed in dot jots, as it is a place for students to begin to write their ideas for their story (PLANNING STAGE). It is to be handed in as part of the entire Narrative package. Changes can and will occur as the students begin to DRAFT their stories. This shows growth and development as a Writer, as they see the need to add or omit information to further their story. The Narratives will be completed at school only.
