How to write a simple story: Year 1 style

Narratives

Writing a story (narrative) can be tricky! There are 4 important parts to writing a story:

1. Orientation: The beginning of the story. 

2. Problem: What went wrong? (This makes a story interesting)

3. Resolution: How did the characters fix the problem?

4. Ending: Finish off the story.



Our expectation for year 1 is that students would have at least 1 sentence for each part of the story. That is the minimum, and I would encourage all students to push for more. A good goal would be 2 sentences for each section.


You could use scholastic story starters to give you some ideas!
