Writing:  Students will learn to write narratives in which they recount a well‐elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.  Also with
guidance and support from adults and peers, they will focus on a topic and strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing.
