E2b.1-Sharing Events, Telling Stories:  Narrative Writing:

By the end of the year, we expect kindergarten students to produce narratives that:

·        contain a “story” that may be only a single event or several events loosely linked, which the author may react to, comment on, evaluate, sum up or tie together.

·        may include gestures, drawing and/or intonations that support meaning.

·        may incorporate storybook language (for example, “and they lived happily ever after”).

 

The Task:

 

After returning from a study trip, the teacher leads a discussion about what the children observed on the trip.  A class chart is used to record and/or illustrate the student responses.  Each student is provided with a large sheet of paper on which they can draw an illustration and/or write corresponding text about something that happened on the study trip.   

Note: This would be an appropriate task for the beginning of the school year.
