Narrative writing is such an important skill for middle schoolers—but let’s be honest, it often feels like it takes forever to teach. Before you know it, weeks (or even months!) are gone, and you’re scrambling to fit in argument and informational writing.

In this episode, I discussed how to make narrative writing powerful and effective—without letting it hijack your calendar. You’ll learn:

✅ Why narratives don’t have to take six weeks
✅ How to treat narrative writing as a skill-builder, not a time-sink
✅ Quick, practical strategies to streamline your instruction
✅ A sample two-week timeline that actually works

Give yourself permission to simplify while still giving your students the creativity, structure, and voice they need. 🎉

👉 Tune in now and take back your instructional time!
