Genre Writing – Narrative and Expositions
The files below outline some popular templates used for explicit teaching of genre – narrative and exposition. The second part summarises key ideas from PD with Anna Korab – fantastic ideas for writing.
The Sheena Cameron writing books links perfectly with Anna’s ideas – start all narrative and expositions with either a sound, action or dialogue (S.A.D). I love and have successfully used the narrative ‘Pebble’, ‘Brick’, ‘Boulder’ idea with classes and writer’s notebook.
