Personal Narratives

We have been learning a lot about being a writer in our writing workshop.  We concluded our first unit by writing a personal narrative and publishing it into our very own book. The students created a list of things from their lives they could write about.  

Here's Lynli with her list.

Emily's journal has a long list of stories about which she could write.

Then they chose one event to write about and planned their stories with pictures.  We took our stories from pictures to sentences.  Then we went back and added details to create a clearer picture for our readers.  We edited our stories and then published into our very own book!  The students were super excited about this project and it shows in their stories.  I have a few of the finished stories published in Photo Story.

We have many more wonderful stories.  We have stories about the going to dentist, hiking in the mountains, playing t-ball, going fishing, going to the water park, playing video games, sleeping over at a friend's house, and having a birthday party just to name a few.  Continue to check the blog this week to see some more of our personal narratives.
