New Writing Course: Introduction to Structured Narrative Writing

Pepper is releasing 4 new Writing Courses on August 3, 2015:

• Introduction to Structured Narrative Writing (Grades K-2)
• Introduction to Narrative Writing (Grades 3-5)
• Informed Opinion Letters for Teachers (Grades K-2)
• Argument Writing for High School

We will look at these courses over the next few blog posts. These courses were authored by staff from Accelerated Literacy Learning and are an addition to our current Pepper course, Argument Writing for Middle School.

The first is “Introduction to Structured Narrative Writing” for grades K-2. Broadly speaking, narrative writing is story writing, where the story includes a main character and an activity or experience, commonly called “the plot”. Narratives are characterized by having a defined beginning, middle, and end. 

In this course, participants will actively engage in the writing process by creating their own personal narrative. Additionally, there are opportunity to study mentor texts, reflect on learning, and relate experiences to lessons. The course requires 6 hours of work online with additional 4 hours offline. You can get more information and a full course outline by clicking here.
