Writing Small Moment Stories

In an effort to help our students become stronger narrative writers, we often have to provide and create "small" manageable tasks to enable them to reach their writing goals.  Small Moment Stories can be an excellent strategy to help our young writers flourish. Elaboration is the key to small moment stories. When creating or writing a small moment story, the story can exhibit some dialogue (not too much), but should provide vivid details about the actions and the feelings of the writer's moment in time. An effective story will remain on topic and the topic will be one that is relative to the writer. In essence, allow the moment to be their moment and not a prescribed topic. The following link, gives you further insight in helping your students write Small Moment Stories.
