Help your students to write better leads and endings to their Personal Narratives with the help of this scaffolded resource! I struggled to find a neat and tidy way to teach leads and endings, complete with a reference students could keep.

This way, I s

These can be challenging lessons, but they are SO worth it! As a class, we brainstormed, with a lot of guidance, what makes a "great" setting, character, plot, theme, etc. After recording some ideas on the criteria sheet, groups critiqued a book that had already been read in class, based on the criteria. They loved being able to pretend to be a book critic and give components of stories "stars" just like movie critics really do! There are great ways to help kids understand how to critique
