Story Length

In the previous lesson, the students reviewed how to use quotation marks to include dialogue in writing. They also planned out their story using a graphic organizer. In this lesson, I will review quotation marks to being.

Once we have reviewed quotation marks, I will go over the writing rubric I will be using with the students so they are aware of what I am looking for when grading these papers.

I will then allow the students the remainder of the time today to compose their narrative stories.
