Personal Narratives: Revising & Publishing.

As we end our unit on Personal Narratives, students stories were published and they had the opportunity to reread, meet with writing partners and do final revisions.  I am so proud of the students' hard work to focus on making their stories stronger and longer. We discussed that no writer ever has a perfect story. Students will illustrate their stories and share them with grandparents tomorrow.  A copy of your child's story will come home.  Celebrate their accomplishment! We learned a lot about writing personal narratives and worked hard to apply writing techniques. A copy will also go in their special file along with their rough copy and revisions that I save for the end of the school year. I like to compile student work as a keepsake from second grade.
