Melville Intermediate - Narrative Writing Thursday

For today's example of Narrative writing you will be traveling to the United States of America, and locating Mr Boylens class.  You will need to go to the following URL here to connect to their main page.  From there you can select one piece of narrative writing of your choice and review it.  You will have a copy of the example that we will be looking at as a class but you will need to choose one additional piece yourself.  Remember to leave the comment in the correct format to also include our address.

Remember the criteria that we are looking at - is it a narrative? What are the features that we would expect to see of narrative writing? Don't forget that you will be again choosing to complete the following tasks, an alternate title for the piece of writing, some feedback that is positive for the author and three questions that you could ask the author about the story that they have written.

Melville Intermediate - Comments4Kids

As most of you know the one site that influences me the most and one of my strongest online contacts has come in the shape of Mr Chamberlain from Noel Elementary School in Missouri, USA. I cannot say enough positive things about his wonderful blog and he is a huge influence on me and the work that we do. One of his great innovations has been the creation of a series of posts with the tag or link of "Comments4Kids". It's a link to a series of posts from a variety of sites, as an example our Schools winning of the 2009 AIMS National Tournament in New Zealand feature on Comments4Kids and received 42 comments for a single post. Amazing.

Mr Chamberlain is an innovative, creative teacher who excels at what he does. If you are not following his blog you are missing out, and you should make an effort to subscribe to Comment4Kids if you are not already doing so.
