Reading Writing Workshop: Focus on Writing Traits: Personal Narrative
The workshop for this theme focuses on the traits of voice, conventions, and presentation. Students will write about an experience that matters to them. They will focus on details that will interest their audience and choose words and phrases that show clearly how they feel. Their narratives will include a beginning, middle and end with details to help the reader picture what has happened.
