findings with the entire class. Students will also recognize examples of story elements and be
able to discuss these as a class.
Information: Teacher will provide information on story elements through a Prezi. Class will ask
questions and discuss aloud their experience identifying story elements. Teacher will remind
students that the best way to start writing is to plan the entire paper through pre-writing. The
teacher will also talk about the correct sequence to set up a narrative paper.
Model: Teacher will model the proper way to identify story elements in narrative writing. The
teacher will also demonstrate to students how to include story elements in writing by modeling a
pre-writing technique.
Check for Understanding: The teacher will check students understanding during class at three
main times: after notes are completed, after students have defined story elements in their own
words, and after writing their own narrative paper using story elements. In order to do this the
teacher will ask for a thumbs up, thumbs sideways, or thumbs down. The teacher will then ask
students that they are unsure about and may review notes with the class again. In addition the
teacher will walk around the room to answer questions one on one and assist on locating story
elements in narrative writing.
Guided Practice: Students will research story elements on their own by following in the
teachers footsteps using appropriate research techniques. Students will define story elements in
their own words to make up personal definitions for each word. Students will share their writing
with a class mate and locate story elements.
Closure: At the end of class we will have a quick class discussion on story elements and I will
ask students any challenges they faced in todays activity. As an exit ticket students will write
down an example of their favorite story element (from the in class activity or their favorite book)
on a post it note and stick it on the front dry erase board. I will have provide students with an
example: Theme- Love in Marley and Me
Independent Practice: For homework students will bring in a part of writing from their favorite
book or author. Students will then demonstrate mastery of story elements by labeling or high
lighting at least three story elements.
