Narrative Introduction

Today for literacy we were learning about narratives and how write an effective introduction. On the 2nd slide it has a video, explaining what an introduction includes and how to write it. We needed to brainstorm with the whole class, then on our own we write an introduction using the ideas from the brainstorm. I hope you enjoy viewing my blog. (:

Information Report Plan – Madagascar

Hello Everyone,
