Rambunctious Writers

Personal Narrative

Students were told they were going to write a story about a time they lost something.  First, they used a graphic organizer to map out their stories.  Then, they wrote out their rough draft and went over their mistakes.  Last, they finished their final copy and drew a self portrait.  Everyone worked extremely hard on their papers.  I was very impressed by their quality of writing.
