Week 5: Chapters 6 & 7

We’re halfway there! Chapter 6 provides an overview of the writing standards much like Chapter 2 did for reading. Chapter 7 launches into a discussion of narrative writing. In order to get you into the writing standards, this week we’re going to look closely at the grade-level standards for narrative writing.

PROMPT:
Compare the book’s suggestions for using the continuum of narrative writing to your own method of writing instruction.  Discuss similarities and differences between what is outlined on pages 123 and 124 to what you do currently. What change(s) will you make to your instruction?  

Your response to the prompt is due by Monday evening May 20th. Then, you are expected to revisit this site and respond to at least one of your fellow participant’s comments by Thursday, May 23rd. If you need help posting your comment, watch this video.

Don’t forget to read chapters 8 and 9  in anticipation of next week’s prompt.
