The process is organized across three days: reading and discussion on Day 1, planning and drafting on Day 2, and revising, editing, and producing a final draft on Day 3. Teacher scoring directions align responses to a Common Core narrative writing rubric, including narrative elements, writing process expectations, and language conventions with adult guidance.","Common Core Standards  \nNarrative Writing Performance Task  \n| Teacher Version |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Grade | 3 | Title/Subject | Writing a Fable |\n\nIncluded in this packet:  \n1. Teacher directions  \n2. Student prompt and directions.  \nOverview  \nStudents will write an original fable after learning about fables and reading several samples. On Day 1 they will read an informational list of information about the characteristics of fables, and several sample fables, then discuss possibilities for their own fable. On Day 2 they will plan their fable and write a draft. On Day 3 they will revise, edit, and produce a final.  \n(Adapted from a Narrative Writing Performance Task for Grade 4 from the Smarter Balanced website [smarterbalanced.org](smarterbalanced.org).)  \nProcess:  \nDay 1: Reading about Fables and Sample Fables Up to 60 minutes Read the characteristics of fables list with the students. Discuss each of the 8 points with the students making connections to other stories they have read over the course of the school year. Students may take notes on this chart during the lesson.  \nHave students read the three sample fables. When they are finished discuss how they are the same and different. Discuss the moral of each as a “life lesson”. Make connections between these fables and the list of 8 characteristics.  \nDiscuss storyline possibilities with peers  \nTell students to take turns sharing ideas for a fable of their own. Remind them that all narratives have characters, setting, and a plot, and that fables also have a life lesson or moral.  \nDay 2: Planning and Writing a Draft Up to 60 minutes  \nPlanning:  \nDistribute blank paper to the students. Tell them to plan their fable using whichever techniques you have taught them that they prefer. This may include storyboarding, a storymap or graphic organizer, storyhill, etc. You may remind them of the strategies for planning, but DO NOT provide a pre-printed graphic organizer. They need to create their own plans for this on-demand writing task.  \nDrafting  \nReview the process for writing a story by going over the student-friendly directions included with this prompt. Tell the students they will now have up to 50 minutes to write their stories. Maintain a quiet atmosphere during the writing period so that all students may concentrate on their own work.  \n© Charlotte [Knox at www.knoxeducation.com](Knox at www.knoxeducation.com) – Narrative Writing Performance Task – Page 1  \nCommon Core Standards  \nNarrative Writing Performance Task  \n| Teacher Version |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Grade | 3 | Title/Subject | Writing a Fable |\n\nDay 3: Revising and Editing -Up to 60 minutes  \nStep 1: Review of process  \nTell students that they will now have up to an hour to revise and edit their story. You may use the student prompt to remind them of the elements needed in a quality narrative and a fable. If there is time, students may choose to type or re-copy their work to a final draft, or they may just make corrections on their first draft.  \nStep 2: Revise and Edit  \nProvide students with up to an hour to finish a final draft. When they are finished, collect all pieces of their work: planning page, drafting pages, and final draft.  \nTeacher Directions for Scoring Rubric:  \nYOU EDIT…Use the narrative writing rubric to score the work. Enter scores in School City.  \nStudent responses to Part 2 will be scored using the Common Core based Narrative Writing Rubric. Ascore will be given in each of the two rubric categories. For grades 3-6, student revisions will be scored. Each student’s final scores should indicate a 1, 2, 3, or 4 in each of the categories (no partial scores such as 2 . 5, 3+, etc. ) . A score of 3 or 4 in each category is considered a passing score and a total of 6-8 points is considered a passing overall score.  \n© Charlotte [Knox at www.knoxeducation.com](Knox at www.knoxeducation.com) – Narrative Writing Performance Task – Page 2  \nCommon Core Standards  \nNarra","cbCaihGWo5XjjGfT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihGWo5XjjGfT","pdf",683256,2,1,8,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## Day 1: Reading about Fables and Sample Fables\n## Day 2: Planning and Writing a Draft\n## Day 3: Revising and Editing\n# Teacher Directions for Scoring Rubric\n## Common Core Narrative Writing Rubric","[{\"question\":\"What do students learn about fables before writing?\",\"answer\":\"Students read informational content about fables’ characteristics and discuss how those features connect to other stories.
