NARRATIVE STRATEGY

Date of Creation : December 5 , 2006

Grade level : Eighth Grade

Reading Materials : Fiction

Strategy and Development

Students are instructed to bring an object to class and the teacher collects them all and places them in a box . The students then separate into groups of three , and the objects are randomly distributed to the groups , each group having three objects . Students

will be given a social studies theme , such as The Underground Railroad or Trade Union Development , around which to develop their ideas . The students are then allowed two to three minutes to brainstorm ideas that come to their minds based on the three objects they get (Archer , 2006 . Each group should have a designated scribe so that all the ideas get written down After brainstorming , each person in the group will have a chance to generate a sentence or two toward the story . At his or her turn , a student also has a chance to modify what has already been written toward the story . He or she should add the sentence in both oral and written fashion therefore , a (or notebook ) should be passed around so that each person has a chance to write his /her sentence down

The story should include most of the terms generated in the brainstorming exercise , but is not limited to those . Students will be instructed to keep adding lines to the story as much as possible and without breaking the rhythm . After twenty-five minutes , the teacher will collect all the notepads and make three copies of each . Students will each take a copy of the story home to re-read and think about ways to make changes to it and to add more detail to expand or deepen the social studies context . The official revision period will take place in a follow-up class

Teacher Support

The third copy of the impromptu story will be collected by the teacher who will read it and generate questions about the clarity of plot and language . The teacher 's comments will be returned under the following headings : characters , language , grammar , organization . They will include ideas on how to give depth to characters , improve language by using imagery and figures of speech , avoid grammatical pitfalls , and improve organization

Audience

Students will be a group of eighth graders of normal intelligence and reading levels

Goal and Benefits of Strategy

The goal of the strategy is to develop the imaginations and creativity of the students . It is also designed to improve their ability to choose right words for a given occasion and to be descriptive about physical and personality characteristics

Modifications

The strategy might be modified by creating a new context depending on the subject that is being taught . Science teachers , for example , might have these fiction stories be set within setting of Oppenheimer and Einstein and the creation of the atomic bomb
