2nd Grade Personal Narrative Writing Unit {W.2.3}

Description

Are you looking for a fun way to teach your second grade students how to write personal narratives? This Personal Narrative Writing Unit is perfect for you! It comes with kid-friendly rubrics, anchor charts, graphic organizers, and centers. Plus, there’s even a mentor text to help you get started.

Your students will love writing personal narratives with this unit! The lessons are easy to follow and the activities are engaging. Plus, the included rubrics make grading simple.

When it comes to writing, there is so much we want (and need) to teach our students. However, we cannot focus on all of it all at once or we will cause our students to hate writing. I have broken this down into easy to implement lesson plans and have included all of the materials you need. This unit can be implemented at an easy pace—spread out over four weeks, or can be condensed to be taught in a shorter time period.

What’s Included in this Personal Narrative Writing Unit:

• Mentor Text (a personal narrative example to teach from!)
• Rubric & Checklists
• 12 Easy to Implement Lesson Plans
• 6 Centers
• Graphic Organizers
• Posters (These anchor charts can also be printed and put in a writing notebook)
• UPDATE: Now includes a digital (Google Slides) version of the resource! Learn more here.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My students really enjoyed the activities in this pack. It really helped them understand the concept and importance of writing a personal narrative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This was a lifesaver for me. I’m not a fan of teaching writing because I always feel at a loss of what to do/when. This laid it all out for me and kept my kids on task and engaged.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is such a well-organized resource! My students loved it, I loved it! It really does a great job at breaking down the pieces and parts of personal narrative writing.
