Writer's Workshop: Personal Narratives

In writer’s workshop, we are learning how to write effective personal narratives. We began with a review of the elements of the personal narrative genre. We have learned some new craft moves, which a writer can use to make their narrative more effective. So far, we have learned to ensure our stories have a clear beginning, middle, and end. As well, we have learned how to make effective beginnings through the use of dialogue, action sentences, and sound words.
