Personal Narrative Due Dates/Schedule

Our current big project is the Personal Narrative.  In order to help students, I have created the following schedule for them to stay on track.  Please encourage your student to follow this schedule so they can finish by December 12th.  Note that Book Reports are due December 5th & the STAR Reading Test is December 7th.  Thanks!

Personal Narrative Due Dates

Because of our school schedule (short days, assemblies & breaks), you may need to do some of your Personal Narrative work at home.  Here is a list of due dates for your Narrative work.  If you miss a day, you need to catch up as quickly as possible.  You will be able to complete your narrative if you follow the schedule as outlined.  I’m available every day before and after school if you need help or just need a place to work.

Thursday, November 29^th:  Finish up the 5 Paragraphs (brown sheet), Pre-Writing Web (gold sheet) and 1^st Draft: Graphic Organizer (white sheet).
