Second Grade Narrative Writing: Building a Story With Details and Dialogue – 2nd Grade

Description

Overview

This 2-lesson sequence helps second grade students write short narratives with a clear beginning, middle, and end. In Lesson 1, students develop a narrative with details, dialogue, and closure. In Lesson 2, students revise and improve the narrative by using descriptive words that make events clearer to the reader. Lessons are connected so students draft in the first lesson and strengthen the same or a similar narrative in the second lesson using common household materials only.
