Personal Narrative

Students are writing personal narratives about their first day as a seventh grader at ICMS. We read "Seventh Grade" by Gary Soto, and the main character Victor has some entertaining experiences. Before reading, we discussed as a class several categories most of us can relate to the first day of school. After reading, students use either a web, list, or chart to organize their stories. Include details about setting, characters, and lots of action in your plan.
