Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
Intermediate - Advanced Level
Narratives tell stories: stories that share an experience, stories that entertain the reader.  The beauty of a narrative story is that it can be written in different genres such as novels, short stories, poems, diaries and even biographies.

First Class: I will go over what a narrative story is:

 - Who are the characters?
 - Where is the story set?
 - What is the problem or complication and how will it be solved?
 - How will the story end?
 - Planning the story - beginning, middle, end
 - Organise ideas into paragraphs
 - Choose words carefully to entertain the reader
 - Write in sentences
 - Pay attention to spelling and punctuation
 - Check and and then double-check your work

In this Summer Camp we are inspired by picture prompts and sounds and list of adjectives that can be used in each story.  As a writer you have the creative freedom to add personality and style to each piece - the picture prompts are only provided as inspiration.  

A handout is provided to help each writer.

I am an easygoing teacher and enjoy student interaction.

We have to be mindful of that face that this is a writing class and if there is too much background noise I may mute the learner to help learners concentrate while writing.

You are welcome to share your story if you feel comfortable to do so.
