Description
How to Teach Narrative Writing
This barn shape book activity lets young writers publish their very own book about life on a farm. Narrative writing means telling a story in order: what happened first, next and last. When children see their words turn into a real book with a cover, a title and an author name, they feel proud of their writing and want to write more.
About the Barn Shape Book Activity
Children color a barn-shaped book cover, draw a picture in the barn and write a title and their own name. Inside, they use a picture page to draw a farm scene and write about it, then use writing pages to tell what happens on the farm. Every page is shaped like a red barn with a tall silo, and children cut each page out on the bold line. Staple the pages on the left side to finish the book. Print as many writing pages as each child needs.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and steps
- A barn-shaped Book Cover with a picture box, a title line and a name line
- A barn-shaped Writing Page with eight writing lines
- A barn-shaped Picture Page with a drawing box and four writing lines
Why Kids Love This Activity
First, cutting out and stapling their own barn book makes writing feel like a fun craft. Second, the big picture boxes let children plan a story by drawing before they write. Third, roomy writing lines sized for young hands make it easy to write neat, complete sentences.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this preschool farming activity idea in a farm unit, a writing center or after a field trip to a farm. Read a farm story aloud first, then let children write their own. Display the finished barn books in the classroom library, and pair the barn shape book activity with a farm sentence writing worksheet for more practice.
