Help students learn to recognize these movers in short, read-aloud books. Give each student an index card with the word "mover" written on it. Then read aloud a favorite narrative to them--a good one is The Relatives Came, by Cynthia Rylant. Have the students listen to the story, and each time they think they hear a "mover," they can hold up their index card. Stop and discuss the various movers the kids hear--are they moving the action in the story from "time to time" or "place to place?" As students hear good examples, begin to add new phrases to your class chart. Keep this chart posted so students can refer to it as they are writing their own personal narratives.
