Personal Narrative Reflection
Up, up, and away is the personal narrative I wrote this year. It is about my seventh birthday and how I got a drone and lost it on that day.
Originally I wanted to write about how I got lost on a beach because I followed a feather half a mile down the beach but I decided to not write about it because I was 1 year old. I ended up deciding on this story because I remember the entire thing.
I planned it out by putting on a timeline on a piece of paper. This was probably the easiest part but I knew it was only going to get harder. After I planned it I did my first draft. This was pretty easy because I just wrote a quick summary and then for every other draft I took this one draft and revised it until I got to my final document. Editing was the hardest part because I did not know what to fix because of the revising. Soon we got writing partners. Mine was Max Jin. I showed it to him and he found a ton of errors. I looked at his and I found a ton of errors too. After about a day I finally finished the story.
I feel like my strengths in writing are dialog. I think this because I used it a lot and I got only good comments on it, not how I can fix it. But I think I was especially strong in my intro. I think this my biggest strength because everyone who read my story always commented on my intro including mrs. Cooper.
During this unit I think I grew as a writer a lot. I think this because I no longer complain when writing. I think I grew a lot during this unit and became a better writer. Max Jin helped me a lot during this unit he helped me a lot with the editing
Overall this writing unit was was super fun but definitely very hard.
