Personal Narrative Writing

We've been working on personal narrative writing this week, which was easier for them.  This week the biggest issue was they weren't writing enough.  I know they must narrow down their thoughts because they only have one page, but they wrote five sentences total.  They are still struggling with transition words and forgot them last week.  Next week, I going to demonstrate a personal narrative and stop and have them use a list of transition words and tell me what to use. I hope this is helpful for the students.  I can't believe that they take the writing test on Tuesday.
