PERSONAL NARRATIVE #2 • SEPTEMBER 11, 2025
Our process
Brainstorming — students came up with 6 ideas for possible personal narratives.
Selection — students selected one idea to work on; they saved the other 5 possibilities for another time!
Planning — students blocked out at least 4 “scenes” for their story.
Rough draft — aka, zero draft, first draft, scratch draft — using our Extreme Writing skills, students dived into their rough draft on scrap paper! We only write for 20 minutes!
Final draft — Students determined what they liked in what they had, what they wanted to delete, what they wanted to change, and what they wanted to add. And then they wrote!
Presentation — on 09.11.25, students read aloud their personal narratives
Audience — listeners responded to presenters with at least 5 things they liked about what they’d heard for each personal narrative
Again, very impressive work!
