As Mayport students begin to learn how to craft their writing in Kindergarten through fifth grade following the elements of our writing standards in Writers Workshop, they are preparing for success on this vital assessment.
Talk to your fourth grader about what they are writing as they learn how to incorporate the following 4th grade narrative writing standard elements in their work. Narrative Writing is the first unit of K-5 writing instruction this year:
- Engages the reader by establishing a context, creating a point of view, or otherwise developing reader interest;
- Establishes a point of view, plot, setting, and conflict (and for autobiography the significance of events);
- Creates an organizing structure;
- Includes sensory details and concrete language to develop plot and character;
- Excludes extraneous details and inconsistencies;
- Develops complex characters;
- Uses a range of appropriate strategies such as dialogue and tension or suspense;
- Provides a sense of closure to the writing.
