Personal Narratives

This is my newest addition to my TPT store! 

This unit of study focuses a study of personal narratives. Through a study of characters' journeys, readers will inquire about how do we, like characters, grow and change. As students delve into personal narratives, they will look at the story's characters, themes, and other literary elements in order to determine the message the author is trying to impart.

The resource is organized around 13 big ideas of narrative texts. 

1. Structure of Personal Narratives 
2. Point of View 
3. Setting 
4. Character Traits 
5. Characters - How Dialogue Informs the Reader 
6. Transitions in Time, Events, and Demeanour 
7. Story Elements 
8. Problem/Conflict 
9. Climax 
10. Solution 
11. Theme 
12. Comparing Narratives with Similar Themes 
13. Celebration. 

Each big idea, or session, has the following:

• Session Synopsis (Lesson Plan)
• Anchor Charts 
• Minds On (Lesson Introduction) 
• Purposeful Task (Individual/Group Activity) 
• Reflection
