Gosh, I love teaching writing. Especially personal narrative. It's such a fun way to get to know your students. I've heard the funniest stories. Kiddos have shared touchingly tender memories. Personal narratives are inherently personal.
I came into teaching bright eyed and green. Ready to take on the world. And then I realized my district was in the process of writing our Language Arts curriculum and I had... nothing.
I knew from working with our reading specialist that we were transitioning to a writer's workshop model. Every resource in these units was designed with that model in mind, while also syncing with Common Core standards.
I broke it down into five mini lessons, taking students through the full writing process.

I've listed them separately and as a bundle so you have plenty of options! I'd love to hear from you if you try it out!
XO Emily
