We have been learning about how to write personal narratives. A personal narrative describes an event if your life and includes characters, setting, a problem and a resolution. Writing personal narratives is a power standard that appears on the first grade report card. Students will work on drafting personal narratives throughout first grade.
I would like each first grader to bring one or two pictures by Monday. These can be of anything that involves the student. Students do not necessarily have to be in the picture, but they need to be involved in the story behind the picture. They'll be writing their memories around whatever the picture is about. Their memory can be about the moment the picture was taken or tell of events that they remember from that day/week.
For example, if they brought a picture of them on Christmas, they may write about who was with them, where they were, a "problem" that occurred throughout the day, and how the problem was resolved.
I will stress the importance of being careful with the picture, but I cannot guarantee nothing will happen to it. Things seem to get crinkled in backpacks, so please keep this in mind when you're helping your first grader pick their picture.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your help with this project!
