Let's Write! Introduction to Personal Narrative Writing for Beginner Writers

During this 5 day course, students will learn about personal narratives and create their own story based upon a special past event in their lives. This is a beginner course for writers or a course to help grow your child's confidence in their writing skills. We will be reviewing the basics of paragraph writing, learn the meaning of a personal narrative, and write a short, 5 paragraph story. During class, your child will have the opportunity to listen, participate, and write independently. I will be giving lots of encouragement and positive reinforcement along the way! I hope to see you in class very soon!
