This week we will begin drafting our personal narratives. Students will take their topic and focus on creating a plot mountain that will help them establish a clear order of events. Throughout the rest of the week we will build our narratives by adding an attractive lead, voice, transitions, sensory details, POV and a reasonable ending with a lesson learned.
Due Date for Personal Narratives - Tuesday December 8, 2020
