Language Arts
Students are hard at work drafting their personal narrative compositions. At this point, they've written their introduction and will continue with the body and conclusion paragraphs next week.
The topic choices include:
A time when...
*faced a fear
*learned from a mistake
*overcame a challenge
It's always helpful to have others read your writing, so students are encouraged to enlist the help of teachers, parents, and peers for feedback.
