Year 7 & 8 English Lesson 3: Planning Your Story 60 minutes
What Makes a Great Narrative Poem?
Characters - Who is in your story? Setting - Where and when does it happen? Conflict/Problem - What challenge must be overcome? Plot - How does the story unfold and resolve?
Think About It
What's the difference between a story that grabs your attention and one that doesn't? How does having a clear plan help writers create better stories?
The Power of Story Outlines
Organizes your ideas before you write Helps you see if your story makes sense Makes writing easier and faster Allows you to get feedback early Prevents getting stuck halfway through
Teacher Modeling: Creating an Outline Together
Watch as we build a narrative outline step by step Sample story: 'The Last Library on Earth' Follow along and ask questions Notice how each element connects to the others
Your Turn: Brainstorm Your Story
Use the narrative outline template Start with what excites you most - character, setting, or conflict Don't worry about perfection - just get ideas down Use the guiding questions to help you think Raise your hand if you need support
Peer Feedback: Making Your Story Stronger
Share your outline in groups of 4-5 Listen carefully to each story idea Give positive feedback first Ask helpful questions to improve the story Be respectful and constructive Use the feedback prompts to guide your comments
Remember
'Every great story started with a plan. Your outline is the foundation that will help you build an amazing narrative poem!'
