riding a personal narrative Episode one
brainstorming do you know what a
personal narrative is a personal
narrative is a true story about your
life you can write about something that
has happened to you when we brainstorm
we think about all of the different
things that we could write about
brainstorming helps us find the best
possible topic for our writing when you
brainstorm personal narrative topics you
can think about good memories you have
about things that have happened to you
fun things that you've done with your
family or friends trips you have taken
or special places you have visited
activities you have done at school or
anything else that has happened to you
in your life it's important to choose
the topic that you care about and
remember lots of details about this will
help you write a great personal
narrative so here is my brainstorming
sheet I'm going to think of some things
that I've done that I'd like to write
about I will draw a sketch and a few
words to remember my ideas then I'm
going to choose one idea that's my
favorite so first I'm thinking I could
write about when I played kickball at
recess yesterday that was super fun or I
could write about my birthday party last
summer I could tell about gifts by God
games we play
hmm I could also write about when my mom
took me to the store this weekend and I
got a new toy or I could write about
when I visited my grandparents for
Christmas I could write about when I got
my dog and I was so excited
hmm or I could write about when I
watched fireworks in the park on 4th of
July Wow
so now I have six ideas to choose from
see I don't think I'll write about
visiting my grandparents because it was
sort of a long time ago and I don't
really remember enough details today I
think I will write about when I got a
new dog I can save the rest of my ideas
for later so that's it I've chosen my
topic and I'm ready to start writing
check out episode 2 to learn how I plan
and pre write my story
