Text Express: Narrative Model Texts

Follow the adventures of Tina and Oliver, as they experience the trials and tribulations of everyday life in suburban Australia.
 
Each of these 10 problem-resolution narratives are linked to a theme (home and family, pets, farm, food and shopping, transport, weather, occupations, oceans, mini beasts and animals), and include 12 carefully illustrated colourful pictures to depict the macrostructure elements of each narrative.
 
Each story includes:
4 differentiated scripts varied in complexity for macrostructure elements and microstructure (vocabulary and syntax). The story scripts include an analysis of macrostructure and microstructure elements and suggested comprehension questions to ask during and after shared reading
 a PowerPoint presentation with images, script, teaching cues and checks for understanding for each differentiated story.
A storyboard with pictures for sequencing and oral retells, and 
8 slides for Tier 2 vocabulary instruction  
​
All 10 stories can be downloaded as an editable PowerPoint or PDF document.
