***Narrative Bootcamp Bundle (Lucy Calkins Lifesaver)

This narrative writing bootcamp was developed after struggling to make the necessary gains using the Lucy Calkins program. It was developed after years of trying different techniques to improve narrative writing in my classroom. This is the complete narrative bootcamp bundle for writing from a different point of view.

This narrative writing bootcamp has dramatically improved narrative writing in my classroom and improved scores on state testing. It provides students with a structure and foundation that is often lacking in narrative writing instruction. It is composed of 8 mini-lesson videos that students can watch as many times as they need to. It provides an easy way to provide instruction for distance learning. The supporting document is a zip file that includes the videos so they can be downloaded and shared with individual students (Google Classroom, etc.).

These lessons include a mini-lesson video with a learning target and success criteria. The exemplar, independent practice, graphic organizers, and resources for each lesson are included. This is appropriate for any student needing a foundation for narrative writing, but is targeted for grades 3-8.
