9. Narrative Writing Process: A Guide for Effective Classroom Instruction

Annotated ELA

In episode 7 and 8 we explored the first six steps in a narrative writing unit. In this episode we will explore steps seven through nine in a narrative writing unit.

If you have not listened to episodes seven and eight, start there before listening to this episode.

The final three steps are the meat of the writing process. Students will write first drafts and take those drafts to a final draft as the teacher guides them through the writing process.

This includes focused instruction on elements of a story and revising and editing. Once students have completed the hard work of writing, it’s time to celebrate the published draft. The student’s final product deserves to be celebrated; recognizing the accomplishment is an important part of the writing process.

This episode and the series of episodes in the Narrative Writing series are designed as a comprehensive guide, crafted with the middle school classroom in mind. Whether you are a seasoned educator seeking fresh ideas or a novice teacher eager to embark on this writing adventure, this guide will equip you with the tools to guide your students towards becoming proficient storytellers.
