Personal Narrative Talk

The students are finishing up their Personal Narratives and they are working very hard. I am so proud of them! The stories are about small moments in their lives, but the words and craft make them so rich and interesting! All the stories are so unique. Even though they are different each one contains the following elements; a strong lead, dialogue, character description, setting description, strong words, similes, and transition words.

I can't wait to share these awesome stories and let others read these fantastic moments that these 4th graders have experienced.

Ever tried the 1-to-10 Investigation? I explain in my new blog. Summer fun now & good for Ss.http://t.co/xhBAWwRAE2 pic.twitter.com/SSZ7hRB7sw
