Description
How to Teach Narrative Writing
Picture prompts are one of the easiest ways to get young writers started, and this you write the story bbq picture worksheet gives second graders a cheerful scene to spark a story. A narrative tells about events in order, uses characters with names, and ends in a satisfying way. When children look closely at a picture first, they already have a setting, characters, and a problem or plan to write about.
About This Worksheet
The worksheet shows a big bear in a checkered apron flipping burgers on a backyard grill while a little bear cub sniffs the tasty smoke. Students look at the picture, give the bears names, and write a story about what is happening and what the bears do next. Eight roomy writing lines sit right under the picture, so children can glance back at the details as they write. Every story will be different, so there is no single right answer.
What’s Included
- One full-color picture prompt of two bears at a barbecue
- Eight wide writing lines sized for second grade handwriting
- A Name and Date line for easy record keeping
Why It Helps Kids
First, the picture gives reluctant writers an instant idea, so they spend their energy on writing instead of worrying about what to say. Second, naming the characters and telling what happens next builds the beginning, middle, and end structure that narrative writing standards expect. Third, this 2nd grade narrative writing picture prompt uses friendly bears and a summer cookout to make writing feel like play, which keeps children motivated to add details.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before writing, ask children to tell a partner three things they notice in the picture, such as the smoke, the apron, and the hungry cub. Encourage them to use time-order words like first, next, and last. After students finish the you write the story bbq picture worksheet, invite a few volunteers to read their stories aloud and compare how many different ideas came from the same picture.
