First Grade Narrative Writing Lesson - The Fox and The Grapes

Common Core Narrative Writing - Lesson 10 - The Fox and The Grapes

This writing lesson plan integrates technology into the Common Core Standard for narrative writing. Each student uses their own name and school to write a story about the "Fox and the Grapes". The students learn to search for context appropriate clipart to illustrate their sentences. Students format text to a larger size and then print and / or save their work.

Students who have completed most if not all of the previous writing lessons in this series should be demonstrating greater typing proficiency and word processing skills while needing less frequent assistance.
