Our first published pieces have been hung around town! You can find our published personal narratives at Tavolo, Fairwinds, and River Road Books. We're so lucky to have places in town that value our writing and allow us to hang it to share with others!
Personal narratives are true stories from our lives. In this unit, we worked hard to write in the moment, rather than a summary, using details like tiny actions, dialogue, setting, and inner thought. We set goals for our writing at the beginning of the unit, choosing one of the three goals: writing a strong lead, using a storytelling voice, or elaborating (stretching out) the heart of our story. Comparing the personal narrative on demand that we wrote on the first day of school with our published piece and on demand at the end of the unit, one month later, showed so much growth for us already as writers!
Here's a break down of whose pieces are where:
Tavolo - Emma, Antonio, Vivian, Jackson, Georgia, Annie, Matt, Megan, Ben, Alex, Dylan, and Patrick
Fairwinds - Evan, Eva, Caroline, Serafina, and RJ
River Road Books* - Ryan, Scarlett, Will, and Lauren
*pieces at River Road Books will be up by the end of next week. They're doing some renovations on Monday and thought it would be best for us to wait to hang them so that our pieces aren't damaged.
We hope you're able to visit the place hosting your piece, but also make it to the other places to read our classmates' pieces.
