I can write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.
- Establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.
- Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, description, and pacing, to develop experiences and events or show the responses of characters to situations.
- Use a variety of transitional words, phrases, and clauses to manage the sequence of events.
- Use concrete words and phrases and sensory details to convey experiences and events precisely.
- Provide a conclusion that follows from the narrated experiences or events.
I can write for a purpose and audience.
I can plan, revise, and edit my writing.
I can use technology to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others (two pages in a single sitting).
I think I am a __3___ in writing narratives because I can create a character, setting, problem, transitions,and dialogue. I'm still a 2 in description.

“Oh no, I’m going to be late for class. My mom is going to be soo mad at me,” said Lily. She sprinted down the hallway to get to class. Her teacher, Mrs. Turner was so disappointed in her because Lily was usually always on time.
“Where were you Lily?” asked Mrs Turner.
“I was helping a friend with something.”
“ What was it?”
“It was um … well … someone was bullying people, and I was trying to help them, but then I heard the bell- and then I was late..”

Another one of my friends is Liv, and she helps me with my reading, then there is Kate and she is sooooo nice and kind, I have a friend that comes up to me and jokes around, and her name is Emma. Then there is Kim, and she will do anything. I have one more friend and her name is Chloe. She is the shy one of us. These are all my friends, and I love all of them very much.

Ok, so you know how I was late for school, and I said that my mom was going to be soooo mad at me?

It won't happen again!

At school, Missy is still bullying people. I don’t want to get grounded so I’m just going to go and I will tell a teacher. She will get in trouble and I won’t, so this will work perfectly.

Ok, I told l a teacher, I hope that I don’t get in trouble.
‘’Missy,’’ Mrs. Gold said.
‘’What,” said Missy.
‘’I need to talk to you alone,’’
‘’What for?’’
‘’Just come on let's go- NOW’’
‘’Okay, but why?’’
‘’Lilly told me that you were bullying people and that she was trying to help but she couldn't, so what do you have to say about that? Is it true?’’
‘’Well it is true. I try to stop but I can’t. I want to hang out with people, but when I ask they Always say no or they just walk away. I get so mad that I go and bully them. I want to stop but I can’t’,” explained Missy.
‘’Did you ask everyone in the school?’’
‘’I did ask everyone except those in Lilly's group of friends.’’
‘’But why haven’t you asked them?’’
‘’I don’t think that they will like me and they’...’
‘’And they what?’’
‘’They will probably say no...’’
‘’Well, you don’t know until you ask’’
‘’Ok, fine I will go and ask her, but I will be back, so don’t go anywhere.’’
‘’Ok, I won’t go anywhere.’’
Missy looked for Lilly. She was going to ask her to play.
‘’Hey Lilly ,what are you doing?’’ asked Missy.
‘’Nothing. How about you?” said Lilly
‘’Nothing, but can I talk to you alone?’’’
‘’Yeah sure, what do you need to talk to me about? I’m not in trouble am I?’’
‘’No, you’re not in trouble’’
‘’Then why do you need to talk to me, not that it is a bad thing, but why’’
‘’Well I don’t have any friends and I was wondering if I could be friends with you and your friends’’
‘’Of course you can be our friends. Let’s go get OUR friends.”
’’‘’Thanks for being a great friend.’’
‘’If you need something, just tell one of us and we will help you, or go and grab it for you but it will only be something like if you don’t have it and you really want it and one of us have it.”’
‘’I will not do that.’’
