Unit 1 - Personal Narratives
Unit 1 - Personal Narratives
Personal Narratives is the first unit of our 5th grade CKLA curriculum. Students will get to read a variety of personal narratives told from authors of different time periods, cultures, races, and perspectives. These narratives we read open the door to enriching discussions about the lives of others and how they may or may not relate to our own lives. Students will learn about writing techniques alongside writing their own narratives based on different experiences they have had in their own lives. This is a great kickoff unit for 5th grade! We pave the way for the rest of the year along with getting to learn about one another through the journey of personal narratives.
