Lesson Outline:
Introduction: (How best to motivate and explain the importance of these lessons. i.e. connected to artefacts from home)
Teacher introduces the text type of narrative and asks students about some of their favourite narratives. Teachers asks students lots of questions
about what they believe a narrative to be and examples. Questions such as: What is a narrative? What are some examples of narratives? Whats
your favourite narrative and why? What elements did you notice throughout?
What is similar about all of these narratives? Why do we write narratives? Who is the audience do you think? Does a narrative always have to be
written? What are some other examples?
Through this discussion familiar structural elements should become clear. Introduction, orientation and resolution. Teacher can describe parts of
our lives as narratives we have an introduction, orientation and resolution.
Building the field: Teaching and Learning cycle, What key things do students need to know about genre or topic? Model, Group or independent
rehearsals?
Teacher introduces narrative text structure (introduction, orientation and resolution) and induces a discussion around elements of narrative and a
check list is created for what a good narrative story should have in it. Students record this in their book for later use.
Introduction of narrative text for class Pharaoh
Teacher will model structure of narrative using short story Macs short adventure pointing out key elements of each structure.
Students will have the opportunity to work in groups, as a class and independently.

Teaching Strategy/Learning Activity:
(Ask yourself, What will challenge or support the students to learn the concepts Im trying to teach? What will the students be doing? What will I
as teacher be doing?)
Students will firstly work as a class to inform discussion around narrative structure. Teacher reads Macs short adventure and models elements
of the narrative students should notice. Teacher facilitates discussion about Macs short adventure Using questions such as:
What do you notice about the story? Is this an information report? How do we know? What are some key features? What does the introduction
do? What words and language help us to introduce a narrative? What are some elements of narrative structure?
Students in groups of three will put Little red riding hood into correct narrative structure using narrative burger to guide them. The class will then
attempt to place Little Red Riding Hood back in order and discuss and explain why it goes it that order.
EDUC4725
Tues 10am
Students will then word independently to choose a well-known story and create a structure jumble. Students will complete this in their books and
hand this up as formative assessment. The teacher should answer any questions students have while they work independently and read
students work to check for understanding.
Pre or post assessment strategies:
(Ask yourself, How do I know at which level to start? peer/self asses built in? How could I capture the main learning points?)
Students structure jumble will act as students post assessment. This will enable the teacher to recognise which students understand narrative
structure and which still need assistance. Classroom discussions will also form part of the post assessment which shows understanding.
Any special considerations: (Consider the students with special needs or the particular needs of your class or school)
The first lesson introduces narrative text type and narrative structure in a simplistic way enabling students with limited prior knowledge to fill in
any gaps in their knowledge. If some students struggle with using words (dyslexia for example) the teacher could use narrative comics and have
students order each scene. Alternatively students could also have the stories through audio.

How will I do this?
Lesson Outline:
Introduction: (How best to motivate and explain the importance of these lessons. i.e. connected to artefacts from home)
The teacher will reconnect to the previous lesson. By asking questions which activate prior knowledge. For example:
Who can remember what we did in the previous lesson? What were some of the key words we used? What text type are we focusing on? What
are some of the features of that text type? What were some examples we came up with? What are some character types which could be used?
What are some problems or challenges you have overcome in your life? What did you learn from it?
Building the field: Teaching and Learning cycle, What key things do students need to know about genre or topic? Model, Group or independent
rehearsals?
The teacher models to the students elements of the problem section of narrative. The teacher uses Little Red Riding Hood to do this. The class
will consider the problem of the story. The teacher will ask questions to gauge students understanding of the problem and text:
What is the problem of the text? How is it resolved? Have you heard of any alternative endings? Do you think this is an effective narrative?
Why? Why not? What can we do to change this? How do we know what order the text goes in? How can we help the reader?
The teacher and the class jointly construct the problem section using sequencing words or phrases such as: then, not long after etc.
Now that the audience knows the order how else can we make the story more interesting? Does the wolf scare you? How could we make this
scarier? How could we add an element of suspense? If we couldnt see the wolf would it be scarier?
Students then independently select a story to make more interesting by adding sequencing elements and suspense.
And finally students begin to independently plan and write their narrative stories while completing Narrative pyramid and Narrative burger to
inform their planning.

Tues 10am
(Ask yourself, What will challenge or support the students to learn the concepts Im trying to teach? What will the students be doing? What will I
as teacher be doing?)
Students are given a choice of three different shortened stories which they must add language features to make it more interesting and so there
are distinct narrative structures. Students rewrite the story in their books.
Students will then have the opportunity to flesh out their character and setting/s for their narrative. Students should consider the characters
morals, family, fears, dreams, thoughts, quotes, looks, feels etc. Students should also begin to consider how they want their character to change
over the course of the narrative. The problem should force them to change. Students should use the narrative burger and narrative pyramid
sheets to inform their planning. The teacher should answer any questions students have while they work independently and read students work
to check for understanding.
Pre or post assessment strategies:
(Ask yourself, How do I know at which level to start? peer/self asses built in? How could I capture the main learning points?)
Students will hand up their books and Narrative pyramid sheet. Students will have their rewritten story and narrative planning in their books.
Students will have completed sections 1-5 on their Narrative pyramids related to their own narrative.
Any special considerations: (Consider the students with special needs or the particular needs of your class or school)
Some students with learning difficulties or disabilities can be catered for by adapting the curriculum to fit their needs so that they can still achieve
the same outcomes. The teacher should also utilise SSO staff to assist in this role. Some students need the content specifically modelled before
independent work can commence. Before any independent work starts the teacher should model this to all students and if further help is required
students can go to help groups. Help groups are where students can go if they need anything clarified. The teacher runs these to clarify any
sections students may need help with.

Students must create a problem and solution to the lost thing after only watching the introductory section (where the main character finds the
lost thing). Students complete this in their books. Once students have completed this, the class comes together for a discussion around what
lead them to believe this.
The teacher continues to show the lost thing the problem section. The class discusses the problem of the text and how this may differ or be
similar to some of the created problems and solutions. Students fill out 4-5 of their narrative pyramid.
Students have the opportunity to flesh out the events that led up to the problem and resolution for their narrative. The problem and solution
should link to the characters morals, family, fears, and dreams etc. Students should consider how they want their character to change over the
course of the narrative and the events that may cause that change. The problem should force them to change. Students should use the narrative

Any special considerations: (Consider the students with special needs or the particular needs of your class or school)
Some students with learning difficulties or disabilities may struggle with writing and are able to draw the problem in a comic book style and can
verbally explain the problem and how it is going to be resolved. These students have had the curriculum adapted to cater for their needs so that
they can still achieve the same outcomes. Some students need work excessively modelled. These students have access to help groups where

features of an introduction? What are some features of problem? How is the problem and solution related to the solution?
Building the field: Teaching and Learning cycle, What key things do students need to know about genre or topic? Model, Group or independent
