Description
How to Teach Narrative Writing
A good picture can turn a quiet writer into a storyteller, and this you write the story lizard picture worksheet gives second graders a surprising backyard moment to write about. A narrative tells about events in order, gives the characters names, and ends in a way that makes sense. When children study a picture first, they already have a setting, characters, and a small problem to build a story around.
About This Worksheet
The worksheet shows a boy who has just found a little green lizard sitting on a garden rock. He leans in with a big grin, while his friend on the other side of the rock jumps back in surprise. Students look closely at the picture, give the two children names, and write a story about what is happening and what they do next. Eight roomy writing lines sit right under the picture, so children can look back at the details while they write. Every story will be different, so there is no single right answer.
What’s Included
- One full-color picture prompt of two children and a lizard on a rock
- 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 hands young writers an idea right away, so they can spend their energy on sentences instead of on what to say. Second, naming the characters and telling what happens next builds the beginning, middle, and end that narrative writing standards expect. Third, this 2nd grade narrative writing picture prompt pairs a curious lizard with two very different reactions, which invites children to add feelings, dialogue, and lively details.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before writing, ask children to tell a partner how each child in the picture feels and how they can tell. Encourage time-order words like first, next, then, and last. After students finish the you write the story lizard picture worksheet, invite a few volunteers to read their stories aloud and notice how many different endings came from the same picture. For a science link, follow up with a short look at real lizards and where they like to live.
