STRATEGY OF THE MONTH

NARRATIVE INPUT CHART

High level, academic language and concepts are used but put into a story or narrative format.   The story format allows for increased comprehension of academic concepts.    Provides a visual retelling of the story.  The story can be adapted from a familiar story pushing in social studies or science standards.

 

Step-by-Step
  1. Choose concepts and vocabulary that you would like to present via narrative input
  2. Consider adapting a story that already exists by imbedding standards-based concepts and vocabulary
  3. Draw or copy pictures for narrative and attach the text to the back
  4. Laminate the pictures for retelling
  5. Create a background for the narrative that demonstrates the setting. Suggest laminating the background. 
  6. Read the narrative all the way through for enjoyment. 
 
Extensions:
  • Review with word cards, using key vocabulary from story. 
  • Add conversation bubbles and thought bubbles while retelling story
  • Review story with story map. 
  • Add another graphic organizer to allow students the opportunity to create their own narrative (CCSS- Narrative Writing)
