Creative Writing: Story Sequencing and Writing Stories

**Does your learner like to write stories?**
Let's learn story sequencing and write sentences/paragraph.
This class is for you!  

I have a  private tutoring for the same class too.

Students will receive a two-page handout prior to the start of the class

In this writing class, students will write a narrative that describes the sequence of the story, add details about what the characters may be doing, thinking or feeling.

During the discussion and activity, students will cut apart the picture cards.
Then place the picture cards in the order they wish to tell the story on their graphic organizer.

Students will be asked to look at the picture card and describe what is happening in each picture.
They will be encouraged to use temporal words to signal event order and add details about what the characters may be doing, thinking or feeling.

For independent practice, students will practice sequencing events and writing stories.

They can use the same picture cards from the "Making Valentine Card" that were used during the discussion or use new picture cards from the "Winter Fun".  They will place the picture card in their desired story order on their graphic organizer.  They will use the pictures to write a story with a logical sequence.

If there is any extra time, they can color their picture cards!
Everyone will have the chance to read and present their work to the class.
As a teacher, I will guide them, answering questions, and modelling during the activity.

There is no prior knowledge needed in writing!
In the supply list section, you will find everything you need for this class.

CLASS RECORDING POLICY

I do not share recordings of my classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners enrolled (many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to see the videos that include their child).  However, you are welcome to reach me out if you have any particular questions about something covered in the class.  I will be glad to help and answer.  You are welcome to sign up and attend my class with your child off screen after I verified as per Outschool Policy.

OUTSCHOOL POLICY

To keep your child safe as a teacher I must see/do one of the following;
1. The learner's video is enabled throughout the class
2. The learner connects with me via video at the beginning of class, to allow me verify the learner's identity (the learner can then disable video after their check in)
3.  A " verified" badge appears next to the learner's name in my class roster.  If a learner has a verified badge, they are cleared to have their video off during class and have  been verified by a  member of our team.  Check with the Outschool team if this option is needed.


Thank you for joining my class!
