You will write 5 lesson plans that center around the unit topic. The Lesson Plan Template is provided. Lessons should be written in a script-like manner, much as you would submit to evaluators assessing a lesson that you might be demonstrating, or even as for a substitute, so that virtually any educator could implement it successfully. Ensure you have details of who, what, when, where, why, how, etc.
Each of the following components should be addressed:
• Subject and Grade Level
• Topic
• Standards
• Measurable Objectives
• Materials
• Character Education Principles
• Set
• Instruction
• Guided Practice
• Independent Practice
• Closure
• Evaluation

- Students will be able to identify the elements of a narrative story.
- Students will be able to write a narrative story using appropriate verb tenses. Materials:
- Chart paper

- Story prompts
- Writing paper Character Education Principles: Responsibility, Creativity Set:
- Greet students and engage in a brief discussion about their favorite books or stories.
- Display the chart paper with the heading “Elements of a Narrative Story” and ask students if they can think of any elements that should be included in a story. Instruction:
- Explain to students that today they will be exploring narrative writing, which involves telling a story.
- Discuss the elements of a narrative story, such as characters, setting, plot, conflict, and resolution, and record them on the chart paper.
- Introduce the concept of verb tenses and their importance in storytelling.
- Provide examples of past, present, and future verb tenses and their usage in narrative writing. Guided Practice:
- Distribute story prompts to each student.
- Model how to use the given prompt to write a narrative story, incorporating the elements discussed earlier and appropriate verb tenses.
- Encourage students to ask questions and seek clarification as needed.
- Monitor students’ progress and provide guidance and support as they work on their narratives. Independent Practice:
- Instruct students to choose a different story prompt from the ones provided.
- Ask them to write a narrative story independently, incorporating the elements discussed and demonstrating appropriate verb tense usage. Closure:
- Have students share their narratives with a partner or in small groups.
- As a class, discuss the different narratives and identify the elements and verb tenses used.
- Reinforce the importance of incorporating these elements and verb tenses to create engaging and well-written narratives. Evaluation:
- Monitor students’ participation and engagement during the discussion and independent writing.
- Assess students’ narratives based on their incorporation of the narrative elements and appropriate verb tense usage.
