Narratives - Final Drafts

Today we went to the computer lab in the library, to do final edits on our narratives.  I have asked students to submit their final copy for assessment by next class.

Our Narratives are Complete!

Today was our final work day for our narratives.  We went to the computer lab, to type out a final copy, and these were submitted at the end of class.  I am looking forward to reading the narratives you have created!

I will return these to you next week, with some feedback about what worked, and what could be improved next time.

Using Imagery in Narratives

We spent the first part of today's class discussing how description, and the creation of images that appeal to the five senses, can enrich our stories.  We read a short excerpt describing the beach, and then we used a planning page to consider how the setting in our story would look/sound/smell/taste/feel.  Try to incorporate some of this imagery into your narrative.

We set a goal of finishing our narratives today, and we have the computer lab booked on Friday to complete good copies of our stories.
