Our Snapshots of a Story activity is the perfect choice to help your students recognise narrative features and conventions in familiar texts.

Before completing this task, students need to understand that examining and drawing upon the features and conventions of well-written narratives can help them to become better writers. Students will use the eye-catching camera-themed template to record effective features and conventions that they identify within a familiar story, including setting, characters, point of view, plot, moral and figurative language

We have included a blank version of this task if your students wish to add their own headings.
