Narrative Writing Sample

We have been exploring narratives for the past 5 weeks. Today we have had a quick look at what we have learnt so far. Our Learning Logs or blogs now have these samples:

1. Brainstorm on 'What we have learnt so far about narratives…..'
2. Writing sample which we have annotated.

Writing Sample Scenario

People and things are not always what they seem to be. Sometimes there is a sense of mystery behind people and their lives. Write an imaginative story about a family who are not quite what they seem, and how their secret is discovered. Don't be limited by your own experiences. Write the story so that young people in secondary school will enjoy reading it.

Hints

Plan your story before you write.

Include an interesting title for your story.

Write a beginning which attracts attention and an ending which is satisfying for the reader.

Use an interesting and logical structure in which story elements are introduced and developed.

Use descriptive words and images so the reader can imagine the characters and places in your story.

Make use of the time at the end of the task to edit your writing, paying attention to grammar, punctuation and spelling.
