Personal Narrative Writing Prompt—Final Draft
Today, write the best personal narrative that you can write. Make this about
a small memory moment from your life, a scene or two. Use your rough
draft and the work from our mini-lessons (leads, slowing down, endings).
Write in a way that allows you to show off all you learned about narrative
writing. You are writing a completed, neat, final draft.
Make Sure You:
• Focus on a small memory moment, rather than summarizing or listing a series of events.
• Write a beginning(lead) for your story that hooks the reader.
• Write with some sort of tension, conflict, or problem in your story.
• Use dialogue and internal thinking
• Use transition words to tell what happened in order
• Use details, precise descriptions or similes/metaphors to help readers picture your story
• Write an ending for your story that teaches a lesson or moral
• Follow the rules of capitalization, usage, punctuation and spelling.

Writing Workshop Rules
• 1. Save everything
• 2. Date and label everything
• 3. Write on one side of the paper only, always skip lines to leave room for
editing.
• 4. Punctuate and spell as best you can WHILE writing.
• 5. Begin each workshop by rereading what you have already written
• 6. Writing is thinking. Do nothing to distract me or other writers. Don’t
put words into other’s brains as we are struggling to find our own.
• 7. When you confer with me, use as soft a voice as I use to you.
• 8. Self-edit in a color different from your original writing.
• 9. Refer to your materials and proofreading list while you write.
• 10. Write as well and as much as you can.
Weekly Word Study
• Copy no more than 5 words into your list in the first column. Make
sure you have the CORRECT spelling
• Read the first word, look at it and say it.
• Spell the word to yourself: touch each letter with your pencil and
say each letter to yourself.
• Close your eyes. See the word in your mind. Say each of the
individual letters to yourself again.
• Now, cover the correct spelling and print the word in the second
column.
• If you spelled the word correctly, put a star in the 3rd column and go
onto the next word. If you misspelled it, repeat the process again,
this time printing the word in the 3rd column.
