In our last episode about our most embarrassing literary moments, Melanie and I said that line writing (or prose writing) means learning to write a narrative. We also said that there are specific techniques involved in writing a narrative, but we didn't say what any of them are. So that's the purpose of this little mini episode. We reveal a line writing secret about one of the most valuable narrative techniques available to us as authors and storytellers.-V REGISTER FOR THE 2024 SPRING WEBINAR SERIESFor access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on X, Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor

No one is born knowing how to write great prose. Like any other kind of specialized writing (ex., newspapers, academia, web, etc.), writing prose is a particular skill that can, and must, be learned. While Melanie and I were meeting to discuss our upcoming webinar about line writing, we started to share (horror) stories from the early days of our own literary careers and boy, are they doozies! Hoping that our mistakes might help you avoid the same pitfalls (or maybe just give you a good laugh) we hit the record button. I even share a sample from my own early work and, oh my!

We are visiting the world of narrative hook writing – a skill that goes beyond just “hooking” readers; it's about transforming students into skilled communicators and creative thinkers.Why teach narrative hook writing?It's not just a standard; it's the key to engaging the reader and becoming an effective writer. A well-crafted hook not only captures readers' attention but also elevates student writing.The Role of Mentor TextsMentor texts offer diverse approaches, showcasing various hook techniques authors employ to “hook” readers.

In this episode, we explore teaching students to write narrative hooks. Crafting narrative hooks can be fun and a chance for students to get creative, but it often comes with its challenges—some students grasp it effortlessly, while others need more guidance and support.I've experimented with various techniques over the years and honed in on a set of reliable strategies. Before diving into narrative hooks, it's good practice for students to have their narrative topics brainstormed and partially planned. This sets the stage for immediate application post-hook instruction.1. Introduce Narrative Hooks with Notes & Examples - notes are not always glamorous and engaging, but a simple twist can make it less daunting for students. 2. Identify and Analyze Narrative Hooks - highlighting various hook types provide the opportunity for students to analyze real-world examples, fostering discussions on effectiveness and nuances within hooks.3. Practice Narrative Hooks - using picture prompts, students get a chance to practice. Groups craft hooks for images, inviting discussions on hook types, writer's craft, and evaluating published works.4. Brainstorm - bringing concepts together, a class-wide or small-group brainstorm solidifies understanding. Co-writing examples sparks creativity, assesses student comfort levels, and encourages collaborative writing.5. Write Narrative Hooks - students apply learned skills to their narrative hook. Crafting hooks becomes a structured yet creative process, fostering peer feedback and teacher-student conferences for refinement.Show notes: annotatedela.com/episode35Follow along on Instagram @annotatedelaLinks and resources mentioned in this episode 5 Simple Ways to Teach Narrative Hooks in Middle School Hooks in Narrative Writing and the 6 Types of Hooks to Engage ReadersNarrative Writing Hooks Plot Diagram for Narrative Writing

Imagine opening a restaurant that becomes a local legend - a place where the dishes are made with love, where the ambience feels like home, and where memorable stories are shared over plates of delicious Italian food. This is the inviting world our guests, Maria C. Palmer and her father Joseph Costanzo Jr., welcome us into as they share their story about the legendary Primadonna Restaurant that Joseph crafted in Pittsburgh. For seventeen years, Joseph owned and operated The Primadonna Restaurant in McKees Rocks, PA. The Primadonna was frequently voted the best Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh, receiving glowing acclaim in local the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and City Paper as well as national publications like The New York Times, New York Daily News, and Playboy. Joseph used his marketing genius to create his own bottled Italian salad dressing sold in stores and offered a Primadonna apparel line, essentially turning supporters into walking billboards. The restaurant's recipes have been published in many cookbooks, including critically acclaimed food critic Mike Kalina's Pittsburgh Cookbook. In 2001, The Primadonna became known across the nation as one of the premiere Italian restaurants, earning the prestigious DiRōNA Award. In 2005, after a targeted public investigation, Joseph lost his restaurant and spent time in federal prison. His life and the lives of his family members have never been the same.Writing a book isn't a walk in the park, as Maria and her co-author Ruthie Robbins found out. Spending many years to meticulously put together their labour of love, On the Rocks (The Primadonna Story).  they faced many challenges along the way. Maria opens up about the changes they made, the feedback they received, and the cutthroat competition they faced in the book publishing world. She also gives us a generous helping of the secrets behind the unique recipes included in the book, most of which are family heirlooms or inspired by the vast menu of their restaurant.Joseph, shares his encounters and experiences and stresses the significance of creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere and how it contributes to a restaurant's success. Maria discusses her experiences teaching Italian cooking classes and provides some invaluable advice to budding restaurateurs and authors. This episode is a savory mix of insights from the worlds of cooking and writing, garnished with personal anecdotes and lessons learnt along their journey. So, pull up a chair, and join us for this heartwarming chat with Maria and Joseph.Links:https://mariacpalmer.com/https://www.instagram.com/joecostanzoprimadonna/https://www.facebook.com/JoeCostanzoPrimadonna/https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rocks-Primadonna-Story-Maria-Palmer/dp/B0C67L5P2Yhttps://www.amazon.com/Rocks-Primadonna-Story-Maria-Palmer/dp/B0C67L5P2Ywww.undercurrentstories.com

In this episode I sat down with TED speaker Tina Yong to talk about why students don't have to write about trauma in a college essay to stand out—and what they can do instead. We discussed, among other things:  Tina's experience as an immigrant/racialized person feeling the pressure to turn her personal story into a personal statement with a linear, digestible plot—and how she realized how damaging this could be damaging to students of color How Tina believes this is more a systemic issue The recent Supreme Court ruling and how it can be okay to talk about race in the college application, with certain caveats An example personal statement that mentions race but speaks specifically to qualities of character and unique abilities the author would bring to a college campus Other ways students can share their identities in ways that allow them to take ownership of their story Practical exercises students might use to talk about their different identities in their application—identities that include but aren't limited to race Supplemental essay prompts that ask specifically about challenges Specific advice from Tina for students and for counselors    Play-by-Play 0:00 - Intro 3:45 - Who is Tina Yong? 4:04 - Ethan and Tina's backstory 7:08 - ICYMI: recap of Tina's TedX Talk about her experience as an immigrant applying to US universities 9:44 - What inspired Tina to speak on trauma in college essays? 11:11 - How and why Ethan changed his workshop approach 12:32 - What response did Tina get after her TED Talk?

In episode 7 and 8 we explored the first six steps in a narrative writing unit. In this episode we will explore steps seven through nine in a narrative writing unit. If you have not listened to episodes seven and eight, start there before listening to this episode. The final three steps are the meat of the writing process. Students will write first drafts and take those drafts to a final draft as the teacher guides them through the writing process.

The student's final product deserves to be celebrated; recognizing the accomplishment is an important part of the writing process.

We've talked about using physical texts such as novels, picture books, and poems as mentor text for writing and reading standards. But what if instead of just learning from the author's writing, we actually learn directly from the author themselves? Today I'm sharing all about why and how you can use author chats (live experiences or prerecorded) to study authors crafts moves for upper elementary writing lessons. How can we regularly bring author's voices and advice into our upper elementary classrooms? How can we ensure these types of experiences apply to lessons on writing, going beyond just a fun experience?

Today's focus will be literary mentor texts - using one text with paired reading and writing standards to maximize our class time, increase student engagement with the content, and create learning that lasts. One picture book can tackle authors craft moves, author's voice, tone of the story, point of view, sentence structures, and research for writing, to analyzing literary elements, word choice, narrative text features, tone of the story, and more for reading.

Need some inspiration for how to teach narrative writing? Today's episode is an invitation into an actual, real lesson with myself and my online second grade class as we create a tree map plan of a fiction story.Teaching writing can be incredibly difficult to figure out because a typical classroom has many, many different levels of abilities. If writing just isn't your thing well, then it can seem pretty overwhelming.During this lesson we have completed a personal narrative unit and are at the beginning of our fictional narrative unit. Students have done work on listening to various read alouds and finding the problem and solutions in those stories. We have explored the importance of describing characters and adding dialogue. Today's fictional narrative lesson explores how to plan a fiction story focused on a problem and the solution to that problem.  I don't want students to just write a two sentence story with only the problem and the solution but I want them to add details with a series of events before a solution is found.Show notes available at: https://sharedteaching.com/narrative-writing-lesson/

Marni welcomes Editor, Author, and Writing Coach, Shawna Kenney into the den to discuss her award-winning memoir I Was a Teenage Dominatrix and to explain how writing out our journey can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves. Shawna edited Marni’s book, How to Find a Quality Guy Without Going on 200 Dates and she is a contributing editor of Narratively magazine and an instructor at UCLA Extension Writers Program.    Key takeaways from this episode:    The power of writing your story How to reframe experiences from the point of view of others How to get started writing your hero’s journey How to identify your strengths   I Was a Teenage Dominatrix  [2:36] Shawna shares the details about the job that funded her college life. She answered an ad in the newspaper and without much sexual experience she worked for six years as a dominatrix in Washington,  DC.    After becoming a journalist, she found herself telling stories around the office. Her story was different than the other memoirs she read at the time. For Shawna, being a dominatrix was a means to an end. She was free of drugs and alcohol and she wasn't ashamed of what she did. Her narrative was different from others.    Shawna says ’writing your story allows you to reflect. The stories we hold are curated. We are the editors of our own story. It gives us a chance to look back at the facts of our lives and consider our strong points and have compassion for ourselves.   The Power of Writing Your Story [11:16] As a writing coach and teacher, Shawna says that when writing the first drafts of our stories we sometimes miss our strengths. It is helpful to have a coach or have others read the story to point our strengths out. When we are the reader and the writer we look for negative aspects instead of the positive.   Other people can pull things out of your story that you may have missed because you were too busy living it to notice.    In a process she calls ‘Reframing It’ Shawna describes how we can start the writing process. Take one story and write it all out and then go back a few days later and write a second version with more compassion for the characters involved. Notice the changes with subsequent edits. You can tell the same story in a hundred different ways.    Psychological studies show that people who have themes of personal agency and exploration in their own stories have higher levels of well-being and less depression.    If you are having trouble getting started, consider what therapy would cost and consider the benefits of therapeutic writing. Unless you are thinking of publishing, it doesn't matter how good you are. Find little bits of time. Take a class. Writing is a skill that can be sharpened and honed.    The Hero's Journey [18:46] Shawna describes the hero’s journey. The hero hears a call to adventure which requires them to leave home where they encounter mentor figures. They form allies and friendships, then they encounter problems and enemies but through their experience, they are reborn and transformed by encountering new challenges and obstacles. They return home transformed and resurrected.    It's a good exercise to see yourself as a hero of your journey and then seeing yourself as a character on the page. It helps you to identify your strengths.    Experiences shape us and they are all valuable. Even if you are hurting at first because of them you will find later they are valuable. You may even thank them.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Today some fifth graders shared their narrative writing on the Coronavirus.

When you hear the word narrative, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, you’re probably thinking of words like “novel”, “book”, or “story.” But narrative plays a bigger role in how we communicate than we give it credit for.Today on the podcast we’re speaking with Liz Prather, author of Story Matters: Teaching Teens to Use the Tools of Narrative to Argue and Inform. Liz believes that narrative has for too long been kept separate from nonfiction writing, but has much to offer. “Stories are the cornerstone of all human communication,” she argues, “and for a student who sets our to write a compelling argument or an interesting informational piece, that foundation can be narrative.”We started our conversation with asking how and why narrative takes such a hold on us…

This article shares the authors’ use of written teaching replays as part of a professional development experience for beginning secondary mathematics teachers. This form of narrative writing is inspired by Horn’s (2010) descriptions of teachers sharing their practice in professional learning communities. In this study, written teaching replays are used to gain insights about what beginning teachers noticed about their teaching practice and whether these noticings highlighted dilemmas or successes in their teaching practice. The analysis of teaching replays indicated that, despite being in their first years of teaching, these beginning teachers’ narrative writings focused least on management issues. Instead, the writings had a strong focus on mathematics or teaching mathematics as well as on social issues within their classrooms. These findings counter the research literature that suggests beginning teachers are overwhelmingly concerned with classroom management. The authors conclude with their reflections on the potential of this form of narrative writing for beginning teachers and how it could be used by other mathematics educators. Special Guests: Kimberly Masloski and Rachael Brown.

The Big Ideas team is back in the Academica Media studio this week, and they have some great education topics to share with you! First, Sarah, Mike and Ryan discuss National Novel Writing Month and the importance of getting students to do more personal, narrative-style writing assignments where they have the opportunity to find their unique voice as a writer. Sarah mentions the Veteran's Story Project and the American Creed writing project as great resources in this area. Next, our hosts discuss a recent Washington Post article by Professor Daniel Willingham discussing the controversial debate regarding the use of phonics versus a whole language approach to teach reading. Finally, the team talks about the emerging phenomenon of maker faires in schools and how students can benefit from having maker education in the school environment. The hosts give shout-outs to Joe Mazza (@makerdads) and Michael Lomuscio (@michaellomuscio), who are doing great things in this area.

In this episode of Behind the Screen, we chat with James Jones, journeyman writer for the games industry and former colleague at BioWare Austin. Among James' achievements in games include co-authoring the STAR WARS: The Old Republic Encyclopedia, writing narrative and VO scripts for Blade & Soul, constructing story arcs and lore for multiple games in the action, fantasy, and sci-fi spheres, and more. Kristen chats with James about his well-traveled, sometimes difficult road in the industry, from his humble beginnings in Flint as a writer and later Editor-in-Chief of Binge Gaming, to his work at BioWare Austin's STAR WARS: The Old Republic, to the trials and tribulations of Red 5's Firefall, and much more. We also talk to him about the personal and emotional cost of being exposed to the sometimes turbulent, volatile nature of the games industry, and how his struggles and successes have shaped the narrative writing work he continues to contribute to many titles.
