The Personal Narrative

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

After writing a personal narrative, learners edit their work and that of their classmates. Using the imbedded link, pupils edit their paper. They form small groups and check each other's papers for spelling, grammar usage, sentence structure, etc. Final drafts are submitted for assessment. Note: The imbedded link is an excellent tool for self-editing.
