Personal Narrative Reflection

Posted on by

Be Brave is one of my favorite personal narratives that I’ve done, my story is about how I was nervous to go to camp, but I did it. I chose this story because it was recent, and I overcame leaving home and sleeping and spending my summer somewhere else. I think I’ve gotten better at my writing throughout this unit, and that I grew as a writer since fourth grade.

I planned my story with a story mountain. This is where you use a piece of paper and you draw a mountain shape, and the peak of the mountain is the heart of your story. After I did that, I started drafting. I did so many different drafts of the same story but they were all so different, eventually I chose the one that is my story now. I revised, and edited, but in the end I think it turned out really good. 

I think I did really well with the description and I also think that I wrote my best lead for this story. This is my lead, “The noisy sound of busy cars and tall green pine trees surround me. Squirrels and birds peek out of the woods longing to know where everyone is going. The hot sun shines through the window glass, everyone seems like they have a place to go, and they have to be there. I have somewhere to be and that’s because I chose two years ago on a random summer day to spend my summer at camp. But in two years things change, and people do too, that’s why my lip was about to bleed, I was biting it so hard.” I think I did really well because I added a lot of detail and gave the reader a sense of what was going to happen later in my story. 

Overall I think I did really well with my Personal Narrative for fifth grade. Again, I think I grew throughout the unit even though there were some things I could improve, I think I did really well.

Book Review

Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney is a great book for 8- 12 year old girls and boys to read. It’s a graphic Novel but still totally worth reading. It’s really interesting and has a lot of funny parts to it. It is about a boy in middle school named Greg. In the book you follow Greg and his best friend Rowley Jefferson through their funny journey in middle school, but in middle school there are problems and they include… family, school, and dealing with his best friend Rowley. 

My favorite parts are when Greg questions a life and I think it’s really funny that he does that because they’re so simple and then he makes them so complicated. I really recommend this book and hope you do read it, and enjoy it. Thank you for reading this!

Hi, Welcome back to my blog this is my first post in 18 months! I’m really excited to be back in school full time, in the past 18 months school has been different but I’ve done a lot of fun stuff in school. One thing I did that I really liked was my American Revolution Ignite, I liked this a lot because it was really interesting learning about the American Revolution. I look forward to my Capstone because I think it will be really fun and interesting to learn about a certain topic. I also look forward to using my blog more, since I didn’t get to use it in the past 18 months. I hope you enjoyed my blog post. Thank you for reading this!

This is the summery of a book I read, The Bald Bandit. We learned that we don’t put every detail into our summary. We only put the highlights. We also learned that a summary introduces the characters, then what they were looking for, and what they found. I hope you enjoy my summary.

Detective Reddy comes to Dink’s house and tells everyone about a bank robbery. He asks them to find the video of the robbery. So Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose go to every house in the neighborhood to find the video. They finally find it at Lucky O’Leary’s house. Then they watch the video and find out Detective Reddy is really the criminal! They learn things aren’t always as they seem. 

Small Moment Narrative

This is my small moment narrative. At first we wrote down story’s, then after a while we started  choosing story’s. I chose the Dragon Coaster, because it was one of the best times with my friend. I learned about the heart of the story, and learned that you have to expand on one part. We a talked a lot about paragraphs, for example every time a new person is talking you need a new paragraph. We learned that to much dialogue does not make sense. I hope you like my story.
