Revise the structure of narrative texts, as outlined on slide 8 of the Exploring Narrative Texts PowerPoint. Encourage the students to explain the purpose of the orientation, complication and resolution in a narrative text.
Provide each student with a copy of the Story Map Template – Lower Primary. In small groups, pairs or individually, allow the students to complete the template for the story of Hansel and Gretel.
Project the story map template used in the previous activity on the board. Encourage each small group to share what they have written in each section of the template. Type or write the students’ ideas onto the projected template and allow the students to add to what they have written.
Compare the story map created by the class with the story map outlined on slides 16-19.
