Description
What It Is:
This is a worksheet providing revising and editing guidelines for a narrative essay. It contains checklists and questions to guide students in reviewing their essays for organization, focus and content, and style. The worksheet prompts students to consider the effectiveness of the title, opening, main point, body paragraphs, story elements (characters, setting, conflict, resolution, theme), point of view, use of action, dialogue, sensory details, and word choice.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 7-9. The complexity of the questions and the focus on narrative essay elements like plot, character, and theme suggest a middle school level. The worksheet requires students to analyze and revise their writing, skills typically developed in these grades.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students to self-assess and improve their narrative writing skills. It encourages critical thinking about essay structure, content clarity, and stylistic choices. By using the checklist, students can identify areas in their essays that need revision, leading to stronger and more effective narratives.
How to Use It:
Students should use this worksheet after completing a first draft of their narrative essay. They should read each question and check the box if their essay meets the criteria. If not, they should revise their essay accordingly. For questions with sub-points, students should address each point individually. Students should circle transitional words and phrases in their essay.
Target Users:
The target users are middle school students (grades 7-9) who are learning to write and revise narrative essays. It is also helpful for teachers who are teaching narrative writing and want to provide students with a structured guide for revision.
