Re: Topics for Personal Narrative" sheet By mlg

Lisa, how did you structure the sheet that you sent home with the students? Did it just ask for a list of adventures, new experiences, or interesting situations, or did you give more information regarding how to approach| the brainstorming task? It seems that some of my kids (actually closer to 2/3 of the class) sit there with a glazed look on their faces as if I am speaking in Swahili to them when I ask them to make connections to something in their own lives that they can relate to when we are reading. Obviously, I believe that it will be far easier for them to write a personal narrative about a self-generated | | topic than one I arbitrarily assign to them. What becomes a problem, however, is getting them to actually think about and write on topics on their own initiative.
