Personal Narrative Writing
Students are currently working on a personal narrative writing following our Write from the Beginning curriculum. Students will be able to:
- organize their thinking into a thinking map
- focus on a small moment from their lives
- write in the first person point of view
- include dialogue and use of quotations
- use vivid language to describe their event
- include an opening and a closing to their writing
- write 1 paragraph or more
- revise, edit, and publish their personal narratives
Prompted Writing
Students will also be working on prompted pieces, where students must continue or add to the scenarios given to them. This skill will be very important in the CAASPP. Students will be able to:
- add an opening
- add a closing
- continue the story
- write in the point of view given
- stay on-topic
