Zoom In on the Moment: Small Moments Writing for Grade 4
This Grade 4 worksheet on Small Moments Writing (Narrative Writing) teaches students how to focus on one short, meaningful event instead of describing a whole day. Using the story “The Lost Pencil,” learners explore how writers zoom in on a single situation and describe actions, feelings, and dialogue in detail.
Through comprehension questions, sentence rewriting, multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and guided paragraph writing, students practise stretching small events into detailed and engaging narratives. This approach strengthens storytelling skills, emotional expression, and clarity in writing.

Small moments writing is important because:
1. It helps students focus on one meaningful event.
