Personal Narrative Writing

This product is a pdf file digital download. It contains 4 pages. This is a lesson on how to write a personal narrative for the 3rd to 4th grade student. These lessons are for students who have had practice writing a single, stand-alone paragraph, on a single and precise topic. The student should have a working knowledge of how to write sentences, including rules on capitalization, periods, question marks, exclamation points, and basic elementary comma usage.

This lesson teaches what a personal narrative is and how one would go about writing a personal narrative.
