Grade 4, Personal Narrative

Directions: Reread your narrative. What do you need to do to make it better? Use this rubric to help you decide. Check the sentences that describe your narrative.

Rings the Bell!

• The story starts with a question, a surprising statement, or dialogue.
• Details and dialogue tell what I saw, heard, tasted, smelled, and felt.
• All the events are important and in order.
• I can hear my voice. My writing sounds like me.
• The ending tells how the story worked out or what I thought or felt.
• There are almost no mistakes in capitalization, punctuation, or spelling.

Getting Stronger

• The beginning could be more interesting.
• More details are needed to describe what happened more clearly.
• Some sentences aren't important to the story.
• In some places, my writing doesn't sound like me.
• The ending needs more elaboration.
• There are a few mistakes.

Try Harder

• The beginning is boring.
• Where are the details? It's hard to picture what happened.
• Most events are unimportant or out of order.
• My writing doesn't sound like me at all!
• The story just stops. How does it work out? What did I think or feel?
• There are a lot of mistakes.
