Lesson Plan

Story Arc Organizer

Students will collaboratively craft and sequence a seasonal back-to-school story using a story arc, culminating in a shared digital classroom book that highlights norms and expectations.

Connecting storytelling to classroom expectations fosters community, reinforces norms, and builds literacy skills. Students learn narrative structure, collaboration, and ownership over their shared story.
