Narrative writing – telling a story
Yesterday’ homework:
1. Make a plan
2. Write a paragraph
I wanted both, but you got the extra point anyway.
For today, I want both, please. The plan does not have to beautiful. Just rough notes, key words.
I am mostly interested in the sentences in the paragraph.
Test – narrative paragraph
