As a first grade teacher, I teach narrative writing. There are a lot of elements that go along with narrative writing: dialogue, beginning, middle, end, time key words (first, next, last), illustrations, having a good beginning (One day… One hot morning…), problem, solution, details, etc. The list seems endless. I came across a great school website that has many great sources for not only narrative writing, but all genres. The link is Santa-Maria Bonita Schools. They have printable posters that are first grade friendly. Check them out!
