WEEKLY
SCHEDULE
Narrative Notebook
This packet will be distributed to students on the first day of class. Students should bring it to class each week as we continue to work through the activities.
Students may also choose to download a PDF of the notebook to use on or offline. Some tablets and Chromebooks have apps installed which allow students to modify PDFs, making it possible for students to digitally write in their notebook each week.
Please note that students who use school issued devices are subject to the apps and security features installed by their district. These features may or may not allow access to documents from a non-district source.
Paper & Pencil
Sometimes, our class goes a bit "old school" so it's important for students to be prepared to write with paper and pencil or pen.
Students will also need a pencil or pen to complete weekly activities in their Narrative Notebook.
Tablet or Chromebook
Students will need to bring a Chromebook, iPad, tablet, or other device with Wi-Fi capabilities. Each CLC campus has free guest Wi-Fi.
Tablets should also have an app for writing such as Word or Google Docs. Students may choose to write stories, warm ups, or their response to class activities on tablets instead of paper and pencil.
Please note that devices issued by middle schools are subject to security software installed by the individual school district and may be prevented from accessing files, emails, or websites from a non-district outside source.
Additional Resources
Students can visit the Resources page to find additional documents, websites, and videos to assist during their writing journey.
To see the page, click on the Resources button or on the word Resources from the main menu.
Within the Narrative Writing section will be items related to our course study, including the answer key to our Narrative Notebook.
Weekly Classroom Supplies
Mrs. C would love to publish your writing! You can submit a short story, narrative, poem, or any type of writing. It does not need to be a finished story or a final draft. It does, however, need to follow a few rules:
-
Email your submission to Mrs. C with your first name, last initial, and grade level.
-
Make sure a release form is signed by a parent or guardian and is on file with Mrs. C.
-
Remember that plagiarism is frowned upon both at school and in the real world.
-
Our publishing guidelines will keep us to a PG or PG13 rating in terms of content and language.
