Week Five Writing Assignment: Publish Your Narrative, Real or Imagined

Last week, your writing assignment was to draft the ending of your narrative, real or imagined. Then, you revised and edited your ending. Lastly, you revised and edited your entire story.

This week your assignment is to publish your narrative, real or imagined. Once you have published your story, you will submit your story to your teacher.

Publishing Your StoryAfter you have revised and edited your fictional narrative, you will put it in a final

form. This is called publishing.When you publish your writing, you create a clean, neat final copy. Be sure to

format your final draft so it is easy for the reader to follow the flow of the text. Refer to last week’s materials for the example narrative.

Adding visuals can make your writing more interesting. Consider including illustrations or photos to help make your fictional narrative more interesting to your reader.

Narrative Writing Assignment Checklist:❏ Week 1: Select a topic; Prewrite using a graphic organizer or thinking map❏ Week 2: Draft the Beginning; Revise & Edit❏ Week 3: Draft the Middle; Revise & Edit❏ Week 4: Draft the Ending; Revise & Edit the Entire Story ❏ Week 5: Publish❏ Week 6: Celebrations

You and a group of students from school are on a school bus. Your teacher tells you that you can take the bus and the students anywhere you want to go. Where would you choose to go? Write a story for your teacher about where you go and the journey that you take. Describe what you see, where you stop, and what part of the trip the students enjoy the most.

When we learn about life long ago, it seems very different, but some things were just the same. Just like us today, people had to live somewhere, find food, work, and play. Pretend you are Ben Franklin. Write a short story about a day in your life.

You and your friends are walking home from school. You find a can of invisible spray on the sidewalk. What would you do next? Write a story about what you and your friends decide to do with the can of invisible spray and the adventure that you take.
