We all have stories! #4

You have been gearing up over the last few days to write a personal narrative. It's true that we all have stories to tell from experiences in our lives, and these stories shape the way we think, therefore, they have meaning to us and to others. Some stories stand out in our minds more than others and almost cry out to be told!
A quote from Virginia Woolf, an English novelist, says it very well.

"But in order to make you understand, to give you my life, I must tell you a story."

Our stories are peppered with conflict and change too. No story is good without conflict, and no conflict is worth it without change. So, this week I want you to think about all of this and the story you have decided to tell.
• Which story did you pick?
• Why did you pick this one?
• Why is it important for you to tell this particular story?

Mrs.Halterman,
How are you doing? For my person narrative I chose the worst the thing I’ve ever done. I choose this because I was very mean to my sister when I did it. I put a broom at the end of my stairs it was hilarious. But now I regret doing it. Tell ya more later!
Love, Linda ☺ ☺ ☺

I choose to write about one time when my granddads turkey when it flopped me. Flopped means when a turkey jumpes on your back and hits you with its wings on your head.I choose it because it was a funny moment. I choose it because my turkey is dead now.
