Thanks to all of you for your efforts to support student writing. Here is the electronic link to a Narrative Writing Prompt site http://www2.asd.wednet.edu/Pioneer/barnard/wri/narr.htm. As with anything outside resource- some parts are better than others. ;)
Couple of reminders when writing prompts for the K-PREP on-demand style-per the released info. and samples:
The SITUATION is more developed- it offers much more context for the student to use than in the past
States the MODE and offer a FORM- Write a narrative for a blog...Write your opinion in an email...
States audience-which will determine the tone
Narrative can be REAL or IMAGINED
INFORMATIVE-(for this year) is about reading info. from a passage(s) and synthesizing it to craft an informative or explanatory piece- "Just the facts, ma'am. Just the facts." is our motto. :)
Stand-alone (30 min. & 2 blank pg); Passage-based (90 min. and 4 blank pgs.)
1 blank page for pre-write
Thesis Statement -the focal point, opinion, thru-line of the piece/ truism or lesson learned for narrative
Models are available.
Please let me know how else I can support you. I will pass along other sites and info as I get it.
