I currently teach ELA and Social Studies to fifth grade students. I teach in the District of Columbia Public School, which uses The Common Core State Standards. I chose to use CCSS.W.5.3- Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences, to develop my unit because I will be teaching this standard for this upcoming advisory. This standard is relevant to what I am teaching.
Five proficiencies that students will be able to do when they finish this unit are:
1.Analyze the structure and organization of a narrative.
2.Choose the problem and solution of a narrative.
3.Build profiles of characters in a narrative.
4.Establish a setting for a narrative.
5.Plan a sequence of events for a narrative.
Analyze the structure and organization of a narrative
An assessment that will help me to know that students are able to analyze the structure and organization of a narrative: Students will read a narrative and complete a narrative elements graphic organizer. The graphic organizer includes the following questions: What is the setting of the narrative? Who is the main character in the narrative? What is the problem? List the events. What is the solution?
An activity I will use to help students meet the standard: Students will work in pairs. They will be given some cut out narrative sequencing strips. Students have to organize the strips in the correct order to tell the story.
Build profiles of characters in a narrative
An assessment that will help me to know that students are able to build profiles of characters in a narrative: Student will complete a character profile graphic organizer. This organizer includes problems faced by the character, character’s name, gender, age, appearance and distinct characteristics.
An activity I will use to help students meet the standard: Students will work in pairs to analyze the main character in a narrative mentor text. Then students will complete the character profile graphic organizer with the details they learned about the main character.
Plan a sequence of events for a narrative
An assessment that will help me to know that students are able to plan a sequence of events for a narrative: Students will complete a storyboard graphic organizer with illustrations and descriptions of key events in a sequence that makes sense.
An activity I will use to help students meet the standard: Students will work in pairs. They will be given some cut out narrative sequencing strips. Students have to organize the strips in the correct order to tell the story.
