<strong>Narrative</strong> Checklist<br />
Grade 3<br />
Structure<br />
I told the story bit by bit.<br />
The beginning shows a person saying or doing<br />
something.<br />
I told my story in order by using phrases like a<br />
little later, or after that.<br />
I chose the action, talk or feeling that would make<br />
a good ending, and worked to write it well.<br />
I worked on the beginning, middle, and end of my<br />
story.<br />
Development<br />
I worked to show what was happening to (and in)<br />
my characters.<br />
Yes!<br />
Starting<br />
To<br />
Not Yet<br />
Description<br />
I didn’t just tell my story, I wrote my story in ways<br />
that got readers to picture what was happening and<br />
to bring my story to life.<br />
Spelling and<br />
Punctuation<br />
Language Conventions<br />
I used what I know about word families and<br />
spelling rules to help me spell and edit.<br />
I punctuated dialogue correctly, with commas and<br />
quotation marks. I used punctuation to fix my runon<br />
sentences.<br />
I wrote in ways that helped readers read with<br />
expression, reading some parts quickly, some<br />
slowly, some parts in one sort of voice and other<br />
in another.<br />
