Start-Up Activity
Ask your students, "What is the funniest thing that happened to you this week?" Have them share their stories. Encourage laughter. Point out how people enjoy hearing stories—especially funny, exciting, or spooky stories—about real events that happen to other people. Let students know that when they write down these real stories about their lives, they are creating personal narratives.
Think About It
“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!”
—Dr. Seuss
