Unlocking Students' Narrative Writing Skills

Students often struggle with narrative writing despite being natural storytellers in everyday conversations. They face challenges like selecting a topic, including relevant details, crafting engaging dialogue, and structuring their stories. The key to improving their narrative writing skills is to help them recognize that they are already storytellers and show them how to translate their oral storytelling abilities onto paper. By encouraging students to share their personal stories and providing them with good models to imitate, educators can guide students towards becoming better narrative writers.
