Are you unsure of how to teach narrative writing to your students? Do students have difficulty developing their stories? Do your students’ stories all sound the same? During this session, you will learn how to use plot patterns and appropriate mentor texts to dramatically improve student writing. By providing the structure of a plot pattern, students will become more willing and more confident story writers. We will also explore how to teach related skills such as setting, character, and dialogue by using mentor texts and leveraging the writing process to our best advantage as teachers.

This learning opportunity is being offered through a grant from Alberta Education.
