Activity: Lesson 4
Students will determine strategies to identify large, drawn-out stories versus small, focused stories.
Discuss the differences between long, drawn-out stories and small, focused stories, in which
readers can follow with more interest. See handout on the next page: “Identifying small, focused
stories.”
Personal narratives should center upon short periods of time that really matter. We have to leave
out details that lessen readers’ attention or their emotional involvement with our stories.

With partners, students will discuss how they could have better focused their narrative entries thus
far
Have students label what is small and focused and what may still need attention.
Focus Question: What strategies can help us determine small, focused stories?
Gather back together as a class and ask partners to share their thoughts.
Share positives and struggles you noted while visiting and conferencing with groups.
Be positive, and start to discuss important decisions as we start looking at finished pieces of writing.
