Writing: Students will 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 an strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing.
