My Personal Narrative


We are working on publishing our Personal Narratives! We have learned to zoom in and tell the most important details. We've revised our drafts to include strong leads and endings. We have examined how the use of dialogue, action, and writing descriptively to provide the reader with mental images improves our writing. 

Please share your title, story lead, ending or a memorable line from your story. Give us a sneak peak and spark our interest to read your writing soon!

  3. My story is about the blob at Camp. (The blob is a big inflatable waterfront thing that makes people fly off of it when someone else jumps on.) I'm writing about this because I really thought it was a great experience for people to know about. I don't quite have a title yet but I'm sure one will come up soon! My lead starts like this. Doo da doo the bugle sounds early in the morning as we slowly climb out of bed to change.Sneak peek! Scene: I's bright and sunny. wet and fun. But what's really happening? Read the book to find out!
