The last unit in writing is Poetry. We wanted to give the students a chance to explore fairy tales in writing before we moved onto that last unit. We also wanted to revisit narratives. The students have not written a narrative since the beginning of the school year, we thought it would be great to integrate narrative elements into writing fairy tales. We started off by having students analyze different fairy tales using a checklist for fairy tale elements and narrative elements. (Pictured below). Once they understood the connection between the elements and how different writers intertwined them, we introduced their task: To write their own narrative fairy tale from another character's perspective. First, we started off by letting them pick a fairy tale they enjoy. They had to analyze the fairy tale using the graphic organizer, noticing if this writer included all of the elements of a fairy tale and the elements of a narrative. Next, students planned the beginning, middle, and ends of their story. Second graders struggle with having a strong, detailed middle. They usually do well starting their story off, but they end it too quickly, assuming the reader knows more then they do. By forcing them to plan out the B/M/E, they are reminded to add in all those parts using detail. They used a B/M/E graphic organizer to write down the most important parts from the B/M/E and a section to draw that part. (Pictured Below). Then, they had to choose a character who was not the main character. We noticed during Literacy that when the students analyzed the characters feelings and traits they understood the characters more. They could predict how the character would react in different situations. We thought this would help them in their writing as well. Students filled out a web diagram with their character in the middle, using the web to describe the characters actions, looks, feelings, and how they talk. (Pictured below). Finally, it was time to write! As the students wrote I gave mini-lessons on what I thought they needed extra support in. They all struggle with adding in detail to expand their writing and giving their writing VOLUME. To help them with this I gave lessons on figurative language, adjectives, adverbs, strong verbs, dialogue, and dialogue tags. As they wrote, they also had all these graphic organizers out in front of them so they could refer back for help. I would leave a picture of a modeled student up on the board. This would visually show the students how their desk should look when writing. (Pictured Below). Friday was the last day to publish. The students work turned out great! I will share some of their work below. I hope you enjoy their writing as much as I did! Happy Writing! Some Student's work:
