#3: Narrative Text Writing*The standards require that students be able to incorporate narrative elements effectively into arguments and informative/explanatory texts. In history/social studies, students must be able to incorporate narrative accounts into their analysis of individuals or events of historical importance. In science and tech. subjects, students must be able to write precise enough descriptions in step-by-step procedures they use throughout their investigations or technical work so that others can replicate them and (possibly) reach the same results.
6th • Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events
• Engage and orient the reader – establish context and point of view, introduce characters, organize events in logical sequence
• Use narrative techniques – dialogue, pacing, description, reflection – to develop experiences, events, and/or characters
• Use variety of transition words/techniques to sequence events
• Use precise words/phrases, details, and sensory language to convey vivid picture of experiences and events
• Provide conclusion that reflects on narrated experiences/events

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,

The Road Not Taken
And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I marked the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

• Students read one or two brief texts and answer a few questions to help clarify their understanding of the text(s).
• Students then write either a narrative story or a narrative description (e.g., writing a historical account of important figures; detailing a scientific process; describing an account of events, scenes, or objects).
Understanding the Narrative Writing Task
28
• Range: Example of assessing literature and helping to satisfy the 55%-45% split of informational text to literature at the 6-8 grade-band.
• Quality: Julie of the Wolves was a winner of the Newbery Medal in 1973. This text about a young Eskimo girl surviving on her own in the tundra by communicating with wolves offers a story rich with characterization and imagery that will appeal to a diverse student population.
• Complexity: Quantitatively and qualitatively, the passages have been validated and deemed suitable for use at grade 6.
Texts Worth Reading?

In the passage, the author developed a strong character named Miyax. Think about Miyax and the details the author used to create that character. The passage ends with Miyax waiting for the black wolf to look at her.
Write an original story to continue where the passage ended. In your story, be sure to use what you have learned about the character Miyax as you tell what happens to her next.
