It starts by giving the students a chance to simply write and recall what they learned the previous year, and as the week progresses, students are consistently exposed to and given opportunities to practice using the narrative checklist.]]> 2020-07-08 18:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/learningequalizer/tskqaaexi2hct3lv/wish/650346588 learningequalizer https://padlet.com/learningequalizer/tskqaaexi2hct3lv/wish/650346590 Students are completing narrative writings in the form of a mystery to connect to their shared reading story (Steal Away Home). Students begin by working with an example of a mystery and reviewing the checklist to ensure they are ready to include the parts in the writing they will need. The lessons are structured to take students through the process from introduction, middle, and conclusion. As they work through this, specific lessons focus on having students revise their work to build tension, add dialogue, create cliffhangers, and use interesting words in their stories. Students continue to review the checklist and go through the steps of their writing. ]]> 2020-07-08 18:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/learningequalizer/tskqaaexi2hct3lv/wish/650346590 learningequalizer https://padlet.com/learningequalizer/tskqaaexi2hct3lv/wish/650346591 The lessons are structured to allow for multiple examples of modeling with mystery narrative texts and then guide students step-by-step through each individual piece the narrative requires. Students work on building the main writing (BME) as well as adding components to it that are specific to mystery narratives (tension/cliffhangers).]]> 2020-07-08 18:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/learningequalizer/tskqaaexi2hct3lv/wish/650346591 learningequalizer https://padlet.com/learningequalizer/tskqaaexi2hct3lv/wish/650346593 Day 1:  Narrative
