Personal Narrative

Language Arts- Unit on Personal Narrative writings.
Day Three of Five Days (My classes are 55 minutes)

Connection to Kentucky Learner Goals:

    1. Students make sense of a variety of materials they listen to and read. (1.2)
    2. Students make sense of various things they observe. (1.3)
    3. Students will write using appropriate forms, conventions, and styles to communicate ideas and information to different audiences for different purposes. (1.1)
    4. Students use what they already know to acquire new knowledge, develop new skills or interpret new experiences. (6.20)
    5. Students expand their understanding of existing knowledge by making connections with new knowledge, skills, and experiences. (6.3)
Objectives:
  1. Students will complete their first draft. Using information that they completed from prior days of working on their personal narrative.
  2. Students will make revisions and organize their idea for personal narrative.
Materials:
  1. Paper
  2. Pencil
  3. Each student's personal narrative from previous day.
Implementation:
  1. Hand out students' personal narrative.
  2. Tell student the objective for the day is having quiet time to write your first draft.  Show the students where the dictionaries and Thesaurus are located on bookshelves.
  3. Supply the students with plenty of paper and pencils.  (Trying to stop distractions before they happen.)
  4. Let students begin writing.
Reflection of today's lesson:
    Students had a hard time staying on task.  They wanted to rush through their writing.  Next time, I might break up project: Student will write Introduction then peer edit.  Student will write body then peer edit.  Student will write conclusion then peer edit.  It will primarily depend on the students.
