It contains personal thought and ideas as well as a description of the plot, setting, and characters.Brainstorm: Can you think of a true event in your life that has had some meaning to you or taught you something about yourself,others,or the world?

I'm going to be brave and let you see my writing process as I build a personal narrative with you. The first link below is the idea that I developed with my classes last year. I will be starting from scratch with you this year. :)
Everyone's writing process is different, but my hope is to reveal some of the choices and thoughts that go through a writer's head during the process so it seems less like magic when you go from an idea to a published draft. I'm not promising perfection, just transparency and the opportunity to see how an experienced writer approaches a task.

Personal Narrative Examples:Answer these questions before partner sharing:
1. What does the writer do to grab your attention in the beginning? Be specific. |
2. Write down at least one memorable detail or sentence from their story. Discuss with your partner why it stood out. 3. What was the theme or lesson that they learned? This should be revealed at the end of their story. • |
