Lesson Plan

Writing Fix: A Picture Book Writing Lesson: Relative Report Narratives

Curated by ACT

After sharing Margie Palatini's charming "bad-situation-that-only-gets-worse tale", Tub-boo-boo, writers will plan a story about a humorous household accident that gets worse before it gets better. Borrowing Palatini's exciting idea from her book, students will narrate the story as if they are a sibling of the accident victim who is reporting on the situation from the front lawn. The voice of the narrator, though not a real news reporter, must sound like one.
