Writing Narratives About Personal Experiences Year 2 - PowerPoint

In this engaging PowerPoint presentation for Year 2 pupils, the focus is on Writing Narratives About Personal Experiences. The objective of the lesson is to teach children how to plan and write straightforward narratives. The concept of a narrative is introduced, explaining that it can be a true story (non-fiction) or a made-up story (fiction), and the role of a narrator is also discussed. Students are then encouraged to participate in a warm-up activity where they complete sentences about their morning and share them with a partner, creating a mini narrative about their personal experiences.

The lesson continues by distinguishing between fiction and non-fiction narratives, with an emphasis on the components of a narrative: characters, setting, and plot. Through interactive activities, the children learn to identify these elements in example texts. They then have the opportunity to plan and write their own narratives, both fictional and non-fictional. Worksheets are provided to help them structure their stories, focusing on the essential parts of a narrative and ensuring they use correct punctuation, such as capital letters and full stops. The activities are designed to be fun and engaging, encouraging children to draw from their own experiences and imaginations to craft their narratives.
