Description
What makes a narrative a narrative? What are narrative features and how can they be organised to create an engaging and coherent text? This live one-hour online workshop will allow teachers to examine and critique narrative texts and begin to assess their students' narrative writing against NAPLAN criteria.
Please join us online from your school or home at 3.30pm for a live after-school presentation.
A link to join will be sent to registered participants on the day.
