Writer's Gallery and End of Unit 3 Assessment: On-Demand New Historical Fiction Narrative

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Fourth-grade writers applaud their historical narrative writing pieces through a Writer's Gallery. First, they read an assigned classmate's work and leave a positive comment on a sticky note. Once learners have read a couple of people's narratives, they complete a final assessment, which includes a timed "on-demand" historical fiction narrative writing prompt.
