Planning a Historical Fiction Narrative Based on Expert Trades

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pupils plan for a historical fiction narrative based on their previous research on expert trades from the Colonial Era. Individuals use the four-square graphic organizer to organize the information they want to be detailed in their four paragraphs. For homework, young writers craft a short comic strip that represents the plan for their narrative.
