Anchor Charts for Narrative Writing: Small Moments...

This is where we started. We listed characteristics of a GREAT story and wrote steps on how to write one. We even came up with questions to ask ourselves and our peers to help make sure our stories were GREAT!

We learned about temporal words and how they help to show order of events. We also learned two ways to make a strong ending to our stories. 

We also learned about "Action Words", which we now know are called verbs. No more "went" in our stories!

We also learned about pronouns. We know we can't use them until we introduce our characters first. 

P.S. The votes are in! Our next class reward is a... Popsicle Party. Okay 1st graders let's focus on being a team!

Don't forget to send your child to school with a white T-shirt tomorrow. We will need to tye them before we dye them so they will be ready for Friday. We will dye on Wednesday.
