Today our lesson is focused on WRITING SKILLS. We are going to learn/remember how to write a NARRATIVE.
Follow these steps. Work seriously and conscientiously!:
1- Let's start by reading a model: Open your book at page 70. Do activities 1 and 2. Do them in your notebook.
2- When we write a narrative, Time Expressions -to describe when something happened - (during, while, before, after, when, as soon as) and Connectors of Sequence - to make the order of events clearer- (in the beginning, (at) first, then, later, after a while, eventually(=in the end), at last, in the end, finally) are vital.
Now, do activity 3 on page 70 and activity 4 on page 71 (you can do them in your book in pencil).
