Mini-Project Week 5

The Floabulary video below is an excellent way to introduce the key elements of reading and writing narrative fiction.

This is a video that  could play to introduce a lesson or unit on narrative writing.The students would write in their notebooks the key terms character, setting, plot, theme, and conflict. This will serve as a graphic organizer when they look at a story they are reading. Also, it will allow them to record these elements in stories from the text as well as stories presented from other videos on the internet. In either case, as the students watched this video, they would draw vertical lines on their papers and write each of the five terms at the top of that column and underline it. This would serve as their template for other assignments on the same topics.
