Narratives


My students completed their narrative brainstorms in class this week! They turned out really well. I was pleasantly surprised at their creativity! Below is a preview of the narrative, which can be purchased for $3 at http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Adrienne-Boone

4th Grade Common Core Narrative Brainstorm & Checklist


A Student-Friendly Narrative Brainstorm and Checklist to Guide Your Students During Prewriting and Writing. Both assignments will prepare your students for writing an awesome narrative!

4th Grade Narrative Brainstorm                                              Name_____________________

1. My narrative is: (circle one) fiction non-fiction
2. My narrator is _________________________________ (write down his/her name or say if it
is a 3rd person, unknown narrator. )

3. Draw a picture of your main characters below (just a quick sketch is fine!). Underneath each picture, write down 4 or 5 characteristics of that character. These should be more about their personalities than their looks.










4. Draw your story setting, which is both time and place. If there are multiple settings than just explain each in a sentence or two. This should also be a quick sketch!




5. Explain your main plot events down here (briefly). You may use bullet points! The plot events need to be in a logical order.
Hint: Interesting plots have a conflict, or problem, of some sort. Are your
characters quarreling? Is nature causing problems for your character(s)? Add
drama! Also explain how your main conflict gets solved!
