We are working on writing our personal narratives for the next couple of weeks in class. This concept is a little tricky for my kids, so I would like your help! If you could help your child think of
one event (i.e. going on vacation, trip to the zoo, visiting Grandma's house, etc) and fill out the "All About____" book at home, I would greatly appreciate it. :) Please remind your child that the event must be true since it is a personal narrative (story about themselves). A lot of times students want to write about make believe stories or things they would like to do, so it can be a little confusing. Please have your child return the book by Wednesday, Feb. 1st so we can begin writing our narratives. This book does not have to be a work of art, just a starting place for our narratives.
I have included a couple of pictures of the "narrative" (ok...mine is not actually true, but the kids won't know that!!) I wrote for you to use as an example. You may want to glue in actual pictures from the event or they can simply illustrate it themselves. Thanks for your continued help! :)
(The boxes are for the illustrations/photographs.)
If you would like to read some personal narratives at home to your child this week, here are a couple of great examples:
A Chair for My Mother
Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs
Thundercake
