This narrative writing unit is meant to reach your learners on the adapted curriculum and the general curriculum at the same time! Students in special education who are non-writers can benefit from this resource.

I have always had a hard time meeting the needs of my students on grade level and students on the adapted curriculum track. This unit meets both needs at the same time.

2 levels are included:

Level 1- No physical writing- cut/paste or circle/daub the answer- (adapted curriculum)

Level 2- writing (general education curriculum)

?The Relatives Came? by Cynthia Rylant
