On Wednesday 16th November the lecturer decided to teach us an effective way to introducing narrative writing to our students.  Two of my colleagues were given the opportunity to read a narrative piece called "It's Mine."  A story wheel was drawn on the board by the lecturer and we were instructed to copy in our books, then to complete it based on the narrative piece we listened to.
