Write Me a Narrative!

0 Comments

This week we will continue working on our personal narratives. 





Now, that you've come up with a topic, start writing!

Include thoughts, feelings, details, description, and dialog.

These things will bring your story to life for the reader!




I love this song about writing a personal narrative.

Turn up your speakers! 

The lyrics are typed below, so you can sing along. 



Thanks Mr. Laughton!





Write me a Narrative…
Beginning, Middle, and a Clear Cut End
Go on and tell me about…
Where you’ve been,
Moments small or big,
or you can…

Make up a tale from your imagination!

Kick it off with a strong lead.
Make it interesting.
Let us know who’s in it,

and the problem they’re facing.

Build up the action,
and pace your story right.
Make a solid sequence,
and use transitions
that help your story flow all the way along!

Bring it to a close with a
LESSON
or
REFLECTION
or
Some kind of THOUGHT.

T. F. D. D. D.
Will make your words a story…

We want to
Feel what you feel.
See what you see.
Make it as real as it possibly can be.
WE’RE ALL ALONG FOR THE RIDE
and we see it through your narrator’s eyes!

Write me a Narrative…
Beginning, Middle, and a Clear Cut End
Go on and tell me about…
Where you’ve been,
Moments small or big,
or you can…
Make up a tale from your imagination! 


Make it your own creation.

IT’S TIME TO WRITE
BECAUSE THE WORLD IS WAITING.






After you write your first draft, look back through your 
story and circle every "was". 


Then, see if you can 
make that sentence more descriptive
using the 5 senses! 


Instead of telling...

My teacher was angry.


You can show...

Sitting at his desk, his jaw tightened. His eyes flashed heat waves at me. The words erupted from his mouth, "I want to talk to you after class." The final hiss in his voice warned me about his feelings.


Which would you rather read?
