What Students Need to Do

Students examine how pacing, dialogue, description, viewpoint, and sequence affect a reader. They choose and apply these techniques to suit a specific audience or purpose.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students identify a narrative technique in a passage and explain how it shapes interest, mood, or meaning. They use techniques deliberately and connect each choice to a clear audience or purpose.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name dialogue, pacing, or imagery without explaining its effect. They may assume more detail always improves a narrative. Unplanned shifts in tense, viewpoint, or sequence often confuse readers.

1. 01

   Cut a narrative into event strips, rearrange the sequence, add one flashback, and compare how each order changes suspense.

   Compare two versions of the same scene and write which better engages a teenage audience, citing two specific narrative choices.

   Draw one technique card and one purpose card, then revise three plain sentences to match both cards.

   Turn a school event announcement into a brief narrative opening that uses dialogue and pacing to persuade students to attend.
