Read the passage below. Divide the run-on sentences. P.19
Babylon was a great city of the ancient
world it was built about four thousand years ago
and had many magnificent palaces and temples
it stood on the banks of the Euphrates River
near what is now the town of Al Hillah, Iraq long
ago, when the king died, people began to leave
eventually the beautiful city fell into ruins.
Read the passage below. Divide the very long sentence into
shorter sentences. Look for words like and, so, and then to help
you divide it. P.19
In ancient times, kings ruled over many
cities and the kings often tired to bring people
from different cities together as one nation, but
this didn’t usually work so the king of Babylon,
Hummaurabi, made some special laws to try to
keep all his people together, to create the
Babylonian Empire and the laws were called the
Code of Hammurabi and copies of this code still
exist today.
Becoming a Writer!
Today’s Plan
• Hear and discuss a personal narrative
• Explore features of personal narratives
• Quick-write about interesting events
• Write freely about things that interest you
Notes About Personal Narratives
• Come to the carpet. Bring your pencil and
writer’s notebook. Make sure you sit next to
your new partner.
• Yesterday you heard “Never the Monkey,” a
personal narrative by Jerry Spinelli.
• We are going to add notes today to our chart,
“Notes About Personal Narratives” to help us
understand more about personal narratives.
Notes About Personal Narratives
• A personal narrative tells a true story from the
author’s own life. (Let’s add that to our chart.)
• We will continue adding to this chart as we
discover more about what makes personal
narratives different from other kinds of
writing.
“Shortstop”
Today I will read you part of
another personal narrative
from Knots in My Yo-yo
string. In “Shortstop” Jerry
Spinelli writes about
learning an important
lesson. While listening to
this story I want you to think
about the important lesson
that he learns.
“Shortstop”
• What event does Jerry Spinelli describe in this story?
• Let’s listen again to the passage on page 30: “I could
hear the ball crunching along the sandy ground…the
manager was waiting for me.” What do you see in
yur mind when you hear this passage?
– Turn and talk (person closest to the front of the room goes
irst.)
Notes About Personal Narratives
• In many personal narratives, including this one, the
author tell about interesting events from his/her
life and includes sensory details to help the reader
see, hear, smell, taste, and feel what is happening.
• Let’s add “Sensory details to help the reader see,
hear, smell, taste, and feel what’s happening.” to
our chart, “Notes About Personal Narratives”.
Two Question to Think About
• Jerry Spinelli writes about an interesting event that
happened to him when he was learning how to play
baseball. What are some interesting events you could write
about from your own life?
• Jerry Spinelli says he learned a lesson he never forgot from
his manager. When did you learn something that you’ve
never forgotten?
• Without talking, open your writer’s notebooks to the page
titled “Ideas from My Own Life,” located in the ideas section,
and add other interesting events from you own life that you
could write about.
Independent Writing
• Return to your seats.
• For the next 20 to 30 minutes, write about
either of the following.
– Continue the writing you began in the quick write.
– Write about something else that interest you.
Remember to double-space your writing.
Sharing and Reflecting
• Did you write about an interesting event from
your life? Tell us about it.
• What other topics did you write about today?
Tell us about them.
