Directions: You have already written an introduction and Choice #1 for your Choose-Your-Own-Adventure narrative. Write Choice #2 of your narrative. Other students, teachers, and parents will read your narrative for pleasure and to learn more about how your expert animal defends itself.
Develop a second ending for your narrative that shows how your animal responds to the encounter with a predator described in the introduction. Describe the experience or events that show how your animal uses the chosen defense mechanism to survive. Choose the most important information from your sources to include in your resolution. Then write an ending to your narrative that is at least two paragraphs long. Use dialogue and description to show your characters’ actions, thoughts, and feelings, and add sensory details to describe experiences and events precisely. Clearly organize your narrative by using transitional words and phrases to show the sequence of events.
REMEMBER: A well-written , research-based narrative
• Uses dialogue and descriptions to show characters’ actions, thoughts, and feelings
• Uses transitional words and phrases to show the sequence of events
• Uses sensory details to describe experiences and events precisely
• Uses a narrative voice and engages the reader
• Follows rules of writing (spelling, punctuation, and grammar)
• Incorporates research from at least two sources
Now, begin work on the second ending to your narrative. Manage your time carefully so that you can:
1. Read the introduction you have already written, the Unit 1 and 2 texts used in your research, and your research notes.
2. Plan the second ending to your narrative.
3. Write the second ending to your narrative.
4. Use the What makes a Good Narrative? checklist to revise and edit the second ending to your narrative to be sure it meets all the criteria.
