Writing Workshop

We are working on drafts of our Personal Narratives! We have learned to zoom in and tell the most important details. We are revising 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 story lead, ending or a memorable line from your story. What technique did you use? Give us a sneak peak and spark our interest to read your writing soon!
