Concept/ Topic to Teach: I will teach the student how to write narratives.
Standards: W.5.3. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using
effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.
Anticipatory Set (Lead In): I will tell them that we are going to learn about narrative. I will
explain that narratives are like stories. Then I will ask, “What are some components that are
found in stories?” (i.e. characters, setting). We will have a discussion as a class and list our
answers on the board.
Possible Connections to other subjects: This could connect into a reading comprehension
lesson. As we build our own narratives, we will learn more about the parts of a story and
hopefully become more aware of these elements. We can then use this knowledge to aid us in
assignments that require us to retell what a story was about because in order to retell a story, you
have to know and understand what you just read or saw in a book.
So, if we ever had an assignment like this

the assignment.
Accommodations: In my class, I have a student who has a specific learning disorder. Because of
his disability, he struggles with writing assignments. To accommodate him, I will provide more
individual help and allow his essay to be shorter than the rest. He will still have to include all the
parts, but it doesn’t have to be as long.
