Writing Lesson

Anticipatory Set:

(Place transparency on o.h. of current popular movie.)


How many of you know this movie? Who was in it? What happened? Where
did it take place? Was it a good story?

Learner Outcome:

Communication:
Today we are going to learn about the 3 main elements in a good story
- character, plot and setting. At the end of the lesson you will use the 3
elements to write a story.

Check for Understanding:


What will you know by the end of this lesson, class?

Respond to Learners:
(Ask individuals to state objective and clear up any
misunderstandings.)

Rationale:
There is no story without these three elements. In order for you to
write a good story, you need to know what they are and how to use them.

Refocus:
Tell your neighbor what we will be learning today and then get out a
piece of paper and a pencil, their white board and marker.

Character Plot Setting


Teaching the Objective:

Character: Who or what the story is about. (Relate it to a noun.)


Discuss Who's in the movies.
*List on their white boards some of the characters from
movies, stories in our reading textbook and from
books I have read orally to them. Have them name a
character on their sheet of paper that they would like to
write about later. I will name a character on the
overhead.

Plot: What happens in the story. (Relate to the verb.) Discuss


What in the movies.
*Think Pair Share a plot from their favorite book. Have
them create a short plot to use with their
character. I will make a plot on the overhead as
an example.

Setting: Where the story takes place. (Relate it to the adjective.)


Discuss Where's in the movies.
*Name 3 settings that can be found in our school and tell
them to the person in front of you and behind
you. I will write a setting for my story in the
overhead.

Modeling:
Using the character, plot and setting I have written on the overhead,
I will make an oral story for the class. As I tell the story, I will have the
students raise their hands when they hear one of the elements.

Guided Practice:
Place the flannel board scene at the front of the room. Have
students give examples of the characters that might be in the scene, a
possible plot and label the setting. Place some of their answers on the
board.

Closure and Independent Practice:


In a moment you are going to use the 3 elements you have written on
your paper to write a story. Before you get started, please list the 3
elements on your white board with a short definition and I will come around
and give you the okay to start your story.
