Writing Narrative Prompt
These are pictures of boats that have been used by Cubans trying to get to Florida, just like in our story Refugee.
Make a list of what resources (stuff) you can see that they have used to build their boat
Metal sheet
Can
Wood
Bark for rope
Plastic
Car motor
And Motorbike motor
The journey between Havana and Miami is 510km - the same as driving from Auckland to Palmerston North. In this kind of boat, that trip would take almost 2 days. What kind of resources (stuff) do you think the people would take with them in the boat to survive the 2 days?
water
Fishing rod
Fuel
worms
Clothes
Blankets
and big long plastic sheet
If they had room, what resources do you think the would take that would help them once they arrived in the United States of America? Explain why they need that thing.
Seed to grow
Clothes to sell
Wood to build a house
Now you are going to write a narrative using one of the pictures above (you choose which one!).
Think about our story Refugee while you are planning…
Remember the structure for a narrative is
Paragraph 1 | Introduction | Hook the reader in with dialogue, quickly introduce the characters and what is happening. What, who, when, where, how, why. |
Paragraph 2 | Orientation | Talk about the characters, how the characters know each other, explain through dialogue why they are going on a boat, etc |
Paragraph 3 | Problem | Something bad that happens |
Paragraph 4 | Solution | How that bad thing is overcome |
Paragraph 5 | Conclusion | How they get to Miami (at least ONE character has to get there in the end!). |
Remember you can have more than one problem and solution - have as many as you want, as long as they make sense!
Don’t forget your dialogue (people talking or thinking), similes and metaphors, difficult words, punctuation like ? ! “ “ ; : - / …
**bonus points if you can put in some Spanish, or a reference to them using pesos**
Use this box to brainstorm your ideas and plan out your story. | ||
Paragraph 1 | Introduction | people |
