Personal Narratives

The 6th Grade Language Arts' classrooms are finishing up their revisions on our 1st composition of the year. Each student chose one problem or mistake they were able to overcome or learn about one of life's lessons. After completing their 1st draft, the students practiced peer editing each others papers and added adjectives to describe nouns. A second draft was written and students examined their own composition finding repeated, overused, or "ordinary" words, and made 5 synonym corrections. On Thursday and Friday, the entire 6th grade class will be typing their final draft of their Personal Narrative. Students were encouraged to get or bring a Flash Drive to transfer work from school to home. The final typed composition is due on Wednesday, September 17th.
