at school. Your child has read personal narratives, and we Our class has been working on writing personal narratives
have drafted a personal narrative as a class. Now, each student will have an opportunity to write his or her own personal
narrative describing something that happened to him or her. As homework, please work with your child to brainstorm ideas that he or she might write
about in a personal narrative. Remind your child that the personal narrative is nonfiction; it should tell about something that really happened to him or
her. Here are some ideas for topics your child might be interested in writing about:- a special holiday or birthday
- a special present they received
- something a friend or sibling did for them
- a special visit or a trip to an interesting place
- a “first” or significant personal achievement
- a weather-related event
Have your child jot down ideas on the back of this page.
