Narrative Task  \nGrade 4 Writing  \nLesson 1: Introduction to the Prose Constructed Response on the Narrative  \nTask  \nRationale  \n● This lesson serves as an overview of the prose constructed response (PCR) of the NJSLA Narrative Task (NT), which is the story writing portion of the exam.  \nGoal  \n● To understand the requirements of the NJSLA Narrative Task prose constructed response  \nTask Foci  \n● CCSS W.4.3: Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.  \nObjectives  \n● Students will understand the type of writing that they will be asked to produce on the NJSLA Narrative Task.  \n● Students will preview sample narrative task PCRs.  \nMaterials  \n● Sample narrative prompt  \n● Literary anchor text  \n● Blank white paper  \n● Colored pencils, crayons, or markers  \nProcedures  \n● Tell students that today they will examine the prose constructed response of the NJSLA Narrative Task. The Narrative Task requires students to write a story based on a given text and prompt.  \n● Make sure students are clear on the difference between literature and informational text, as distinguished by the CCSS.  \n● Next, define “narrative” for them, so that they are clear that it is different from an essay.  \n“What is a narrative?‘Narrative’ is another word for ‘story.’ Usually when we think of‘story’ we think of fiction, which involves imaginary characters and situations. However, we can write nonfiction stories also, which describe real people and real events.  \n● The prompt will be based on a literary text. Students will be prompted to write a story. The prompt may have students:  \no continue the story where the text left off.  \nNT Writing Lesson 1: Introducing the Narrative Task Page 1  \n© 2023 Inspired Instruction, LLC. All Rights Reserved.  \no ask them to write another story using the same character(s) .  \no write the story from a different point of view (e.g. a third-person narrator instead of the text’s first-person narrator) .  \n● Display the sample prompt and discuss.  \n● Next, hand out the literary text and ask students to read.  \n● Review the story and ask a question that connects the story to the prompt.  \n● Hand out blank white paper and colored pencils.  \n● Have each student create a web to brainstorm their response to the prompt.  \n● Discuss students’ ideas and findings if there is time. Collect their work.  \nAssessment  \n● Evaluate students’ webs. It should be evident that the student understood the reading.  \n● A student’s work should make evident that they understood the reading and the prompt, as well as show indications of character, theme, plot, setting, and tone development that fit how those elements were treated in the text.  \nExtension Activity  \nTo provide students with more practice, create PCR prompts using literature from your curriculum.  \nNT Writing Lesson 1: Introducing the Narrative Task Page 2  \n© 2023 Inspired Instruction, LLC.

Whenever she had anything to tell, she came rushing to her mother and bobbed about so much—just couldn't keep still—that she earned the name Betsey Bobbitt.  \n2. Now, the funny part about the nickname was that it was not always appropriate. It only fitted when she came bobbing in with \"Oh, Mother!\" and back and forth she would bob. If you ever saw a restless tiger at the circus, or at the zoo, pace back and forth in his cage bobbing his head, you will know just how Betsey Bobbitt looked as she told her little story.  \n3. Like most little girls, Betsey Bobbitt would often run errands for the neighbors and nearly always they would insist upon giving Betsey Bobbitt a penny, saying: \"Thank you, dear; now buy yourself a stick of candy.\"  \n4. Poor Betsey Bobbitt how she did wish she might buy the candy, because if there was anyt","cbCaidS6TFaSr78F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidS6TFaSr78F","pdf",205894,"English","# Task\n## Rationale\n## Goal\n## Task Foci (CCSS W.4.3)\n## Objectives\n## Materials\n## Procedures\n## Assessment\n## Extension Activity","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Grade 4 writing lesson?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an overview of the prose constructed response (PCR) for the NJSLA Narrative Task and clarifies how the exam story-writing portion works.\"},{\"question\":\"What does CCSS W.4.3 require for the narrative writing task?\",\"answer\":\"Students write narratives that develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.\"},{\"question\":\"How should students respond to the literary prompt?\",\"answer\":\"Students write a story based on the given text and prompt, such as continuing the story, writing another story with the same character(s), or using a different point of view.\"}]","NJSLA Narrative Task Grade 4 Writing - Lesson 1 - Introduction to the Prose Constructed Response on the Narrative Task | PDF",1790806126]
