Revising Your Narrative Ending
3. Review the graphic organizer you just completed about the endings of the
texts you read. Go back and scan the endings of those texts before you revise the reflection at the end of your own narrative. Think about how each writer incorporated a reflection in order to bring the narrative to a meaningful and satisfying close. Then use the following questions to help generate ideas for the reflective ending for your narrative:
• What did I learn from the experience?
• Why does this matter?
• Can I revisit a concept or idea from my lead or an image in the middle to create coherence?
4. Review your narrative draft and revise your ending; use sharing and responding in a writing group.
Check Your Understanding
Describe how you have changed your ending. How did your change make your ending more effective for your reader?
Independent Reading Checkpoint
You have just read about a character’s life. Consider his or her choices. What does he or she choose to do in life? Why does he or she make chose decisions? What are the positive and negative consequences of those decisions? What does he or she learn through experience?
