Poems, Plays, & Prose — Comprehending Narrative Texts

Helping students differentiate types of narrative text can be a challenge at every level. It’s one thing to know how poems, plays, short stories, novels, and other literature are visibly different. But comprehending how they are invisibly similar is the deeper purpose behind the standard.

It is this nuanced difference that keeps teachers wondering, How do I develop effective comprehension lessons to teach these narrative genres?

In this fast-moving 30-minute webinar, Kristina Smekens will address this challenge head-on as she reveals how all narrative texts:
- Rely on the same ingredients.
- Utilize the same text structure.
- Produce a summary using the same frame.

If you are ready to go deeper with teaching comprehension of narrative texts, you won’t want to miss this live webinar on Wednesday, September 20. (If you can’t attend the live session, sign up anyway and view the recording afterward!)
