Narrative Writing Stations

Today's Goal: Learn about and practice narrative writing techniques through station rotations

Unit Question: How does an author’s voice and word choice affect the mood of a story?

The Plan:

1. Read!
2. Social Contract Goal-Setting (You'll get a paper copy and turn it in immediately)
3. Narrative Writing Stations

Narrative Writing Stations:

This is going to take a few days, and will all be done in class unless time is wasted.

• You will work with your group VERY closely. 
• 20 minutes at each station
• 1 person is in charge of timekeeping
• 1 person is a direction reader
• What you don't finish in your 20 minutes is homework

Station directions are at your tables, but for future reference, they are linked here as well:

• Station 1: Atmosphere
• Station 2: Mood
• Station 3: Characterization
• Station 4: Create your Characters
• Station 5: Point of View
• Station 6: Conclusions
• Station 7: Simple Sentences
• Station 8: Compound Sentences
