We are revisiting the personal narrative genre for the last time this school year. This time, we text mapped more complex mentor texts filled with amazing language (similes and metaphors) and complicated structures (a flashback). WE read Up North At the Cabin and The Leaving Morning. Your children voted for Junkyard Wonders and Some Birthday by Patricia Polacco to be additional mentor texts that we read and studied. This time we added words and pictures to our text maps, as well as TRANSITION WORDS~ using first, next, then, after that, now, finally, and lastly. This will help our writing, too!
