These narrative writing resources were created to help my students when they were planning their narrative writing. I like to laminate them (double-sided on coloured paper) so that students can have them at their desks and support their writing. Many students struggle with the structure of narrative writing and I wanted to give them support in a similar way to word mats.

Included in this resource:
-how to start a narrative (brainstorming)
-genre
-planning (with scaffold questioning)
-hooking your reader
-how to move the story along
-conflict ideas
-elements of plot
-how to end
-narrative checklist (not entirely mine, pieced together form here and there)
-narrative writing word mat (transition words, words instead of said, adverbs, senses, figurative language, character feelings, setting ideas, adding tension, punctuation)
-text extracts for highlighting feature of narrative writing/annotation

If you like this, I also have word mats for adverbs, verbs, openers, etc called Word Mats: Key Stage Two English
