Why is it important to plan, draft, revise, edit, and publish a personal narrative?

Activity 1:
Read aloud Stephanie’s Ponytail and discuss examples of cause and effect.

Activity 2:
Have students read their challenging chapter book for 30 min. and write a list of 3 causes and 3 effects from their reading.

Collected Papers:
Cause/Effect

Homework:
• Read for 30 minutes each night in a challenging chapter book. Complete an entry on your reading log answering the 5 W's.
• Night Write:
You’ve identified some possible experiences to write about. Now you need to think about what you have learned from each of them. Make a chart with the 3 experiences you starred from the sentence starters on the left side of the paper and the lesson learned from each experience on the right side of the paper. Then circle the experience you could write about in your narrative. Write nonstop about your circled topic for 5 minutes to see what you remember. Also answer the 5 W and H questions about your topic. If you can’t come up with enough details try another topic.
