Listen To Our Personal Narratives

Please come check out our new bulletin board in the hallway.  Bring your personal device with a QR reader so you can also listen to your child read their story.

Our first unit in writing was personal narrative.  We focused the first couple weeks of school coming up with ideas and writing small entries in our writer’s notebooks. Then, we chose one piece that we felt the strongest about and worked on zooming in on the most important part, or the heart of the story.  Next, we studied the work of other authors that we admired and wrote good leads and endings for our stories.

Once our drafts were complete, we made revisions and edited using a checklist.  This past week we typed them in a Google Doc, practiced reading them over and over with a storytellers voice, and recorded them on soundcloud.
