What are personal narratives?
Objective: Students will analyze the development of character, setting, plot, and theme in short personal narratives.
1. In small groups, we divided up assignments of things to focus on while reading a series of four short personal stories.
2. In groups we read each story (copies are here, here, here, and here). After reading each story, we discussed our assignments, helping each other record all 4 steps for each story in our Writer's Notebooks on pages 40-41.
3. With each new story, we switched assignments and repeated the activity.
For next time: No homework.
