Personal Narratives Writing Unit, Yr 1

About this teaching resource

Dive into the world of personal narrative with our 6-page PDF resource Personal Narratives Writing Unit, Yr 1, for teachers.

Employing the READING LIKE A WRITER approach, students delve into read-alouds, shared reading, and mentor texts to hone their narrative skills. Utilise a variety of mentor texts to help students grasp the genre and compare different versions.

Try our 'good writer' mini lessons:  For example, good writers illustrate their experiences in sequential drawings or simple books, using straightforward language to convey time. They express emotions, focusing on significant moments and crafting engaging beginnings and endings. Writers develop their voice by narrating personal stories in the first person, adding dialogue for depth. They observe craft choices in mentor texts, experimenting with them in their writing with teacher guidance.

Empower students to unleash their creativity and storytelling prowess while honing their writing skills.
