    This unit plan aims to teach third grade students how to write an adventure narrative. It focuses on common core writing standards about developing real or imagined experiences through effective techniques, descriptive details, and clear sequencing of events. Throughout the unit, students will learn lessons on strategies for describing characters, events, settings and other narrative elements. They will create their own adventure narrative and apply skills learned in a previous personal narrative unit, like focusing on specific scenes and using descriptive language. Formative assessments include work on narrative pieces and organizers, while summative assessments are pre and post writing assignments. By the end, students will understand narrative structure and be able to create a character, engaging beginning, and get right into the action of their adventure story.
