Personal Narrative: Revising
Writing doesn't end with your the draft. Next, students need to revise. When they revise, they should evaluate their work for ideas, organization, voice, word choice, and sentence fluency.

Does my beginning capture the reader's interest?

|
|
|
|
Do the events appear in the order they occurred?
|

Does my ending reflect on the importance of the experience?
