The Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then strategy is a great tool to help students identify and understand story elements. In this fun brainstorming activity, budding writers will use the format to start generating a story of their own!

It’s more fun to revise with a partner! After writing personal narratives, have students share their writing with a partner. Partners should identify at least three parts in the narrative where three descriptive details could be added.

Want students to add more pizazz to their narratives? Encourage them to use descriptive details! Have students read over their writing and identify how many adjectives they used. Then challenge them to add in at least five more adjectives.
