A Day Without Gravity
Narrative Writing

Today students began by watching two quick videos about experiences in zero gravity situations.


Students paired up and exchanged ideas of fun situations and problems that could occur on a day without gravity.

We reflected together afterward about four of the characteristics of a narrative we had touched upon previously:

Setting, Characters, Problems, and Solutions.


Finally students began sharing some of their ideas and we grouped them into each category as best we could.  We talked about the importance of pre-writing before doing any sort of narrative writing.  We want our story to be focused, fun, and to avoid being disorganized.  Pre-writing is the fun and imaginative first step of the narrative writing process!
