**Please note that the lesson does suggest using the mentor text “Tuesday” by David Weisner. This mentor text is a suggestion and the mini lesson does suggest discussions based on the book. All other components of the lesson DO NOT follow the book and can be used on their own or with a mentor text of your choice.**
This lesson includes:
*A sample lesson with a mini lesson, independent writing, and shared writing component.

An introduction to fictional narrative writing, suggested mentor text, anchor chart suggestion to introduce plot, characters, setting, theme, and conflict.
*A mini anchor chart for student writing notebooks-elements of a story.

*A CCCS aligned goal setting sheet for students to use for setting goals while writing.
*Individual goal setting page
*Student friendly rubric based on grades 3-5 CCCS standards and I Can Statements.

My new curriculum does not provide great writing resources or lesson structure. I love the way this breaks down a large writing task into small, explicit lessons and practice sessions with great graphic organizers to boot!
