Here are the teacher pack items for Writing a Personal Narrative:
Overview In this experience, students apply their knowledge of personal narratives to the writing of their own personal narratives. They move through the writing process as they brainstorm, outline, compose, revise, edit, and publish their personal narratives. They incorporate reaction and reflection in order to elevate their writing and to create a clear understanding of why the experience was memorable to them. At the end of the experience, students will self-evaluate their work based on a rubric. You may review the rubric with them at any point during this experience. Objectives Duration One week. You may want students to draft at home.
Personal narratives allow you to share a moment in your life with others and to let the reader experience what was happening to you. A successful personal narrative is insightful and reflects on a moment important to you. When writing a personal narrative, you will reflect on a turning point, or moment of change, in your life and reflect on the lessons that moment taught you.
