Narrative Texts Anchor Chart
(For Teacher Reference)
W.5.3
Lessons where concepts are introduced in Unit 3:
Narratives
· Narratives tell a story about real events or imagined experiences. They can be told from a first person (I) or third person (he/she) point of view. (Lesson 1)
· Narratives have a clear sequence of events that makes sense and is easy to understand. These texts have:
– A beginning that establishes the situation and introduces the characters and/or narrator (Lesson 2)
– A middle that describes the central problem and explains how the character(s) respond to the problem (Lesson 3)
– An ending that has a solution/resolution to “wrap up” the problem (Lesson 4)
· Narratives use pacing to slow down important events in the story and speed up parts of the story that are less important. Authors control the pacing in a narrative by:
– Using transition words and phrases to span time (Lesson 6)
– Combining and/or reducing sentences to briefly describe events that aren’t important (Lesson 6)
– Describing important parts of the story in great detail; expanding sentences to add concrete words and sensory details to build anticipation and help readers imagine events and experiences. (Lesson 7)
– Adding dialogue to show how characters respond to events and to advance the action in the story. If you can skip over the dialogue and still understand everything that’s going on, you probably don’t need the dialogue. (Lesson 8)
Writing Dialogue Handout

· Quotation marks around the actual words the character said.

· Capital letter at the beginning of the words that were spoken.
· New paragraphs are started when a different character is speaking.
