We have spent time immersing ourselves in great books - all different types of narratives written by inspiring authors.
Now it's time to work on ideas for our own personal narrative: What celebrations or traditions do we remember that we might be inspired to write about? What stories have we heard from our parents or relatives? (we made a story quilt of all interesting family stories we remember). What talents or abilities do we have that make others happy? Is there a favorite photo we have that reminds us of stories and inspires us to write? Writers often share with their readers stories about all these things. We have spent several lessons brainstorming and generating ideas - now our own writers notebooks are full of ideas!
This week we will begin to select ideas that 'talk to us' and inspire us to write more and we will begin working on our 1st draft!
