Writer’s Workshop:
Personal Narratives
During the next few weeks of writer’s workshop we are going
to be focusing on narrative writing. Students will be working on writing true
stories of things that have happened to them. The standards emphasize the
importance of narrating a sequence of events; having students write WHO is in the story, WHERE the story is happening and WHAT is happening. In school, we will
be looking closely at this genre of writing, noticing what authors do when
writing in this genre.
The first step in helping students become successful in this
genre of writing is promoting storytelling. As you know, our students always
have stories to tell! They are excited to tell us about what they did the night
before or places they have been. Orally rehearsing their stories will help them
develop a sense of storybook language. We will be practicing telling our
stories orally and then practice bringing those stories to our books in written
words and pictures.
How can you
support your child with this at home?
Promote storytelling at home! You may not realize it but you
are already supporting this at home! When your child gets off the bus, the
first question you usually ask is: How was school today? What did you do at
school? Although your child may have a two word response or a shrug, you are
waiting for all the details of your child’s day from beginning to end!
