Note
The sample personal narrative is based on the short animated movie, ‘The Present’. The narrative is written from the viewpoint of the boy in the movie. You may have students watch the movie before or after you begin the lesson to provide context to the story. Link to movie in download.
This writing unit can also be done without having students watch the short animated movie.
With comprehensive activities included in this resource, your students will write tightening tension scenes in a personal or fictional narrative with ease!
