Station #4

Writing Workshop

• Standard W6.3 Write Narratives using effective technique, relative descriptive details, and a well structured sequence

Quick Write:

Practice writing an entry using the first two points from your "How to write powerful Narratives" List. You may write one entry that is at least one page long, or you may write multiple entries if you are struggling to write one long entry. The goal is to have several narrative entries to pick from when we go to develop a full length narrative writing piece.

(Complete your entries in your ELA Notebook)

Pick one of the moments from your list and:

1. Write in detail (do not summarize a stretch of time)

2. Help Readers picture the episode - a small action and exact dialogue.
