My original Narrative Writing Check Graphic Organizer has been updated!

Students will be able to check their narrative writing using this graphic organizer to make sure they’ve included all the main parts a narrative should include. Students will need to understand these terms: mood, tone, theme, rising action, climax, falling action, turning point, dynamic character, and static character. This is a great vocabulary check as well as a self-assessment for their writing. Students can also be paired to share their narratives with a classmate in order for them to identify these parts in the writing.
