Personal narrative assignments provide multilingual learners with unique opportunities to explore their heritage. The social isolation young second-language scholars have endured during virtual learning has left many in dire need of lessons that affirm their identity while advancing their academic communication skills. Well-intentioned educators often underestimate the complexities of crafting an effective personal narrative for English learners and reticent readers.
In this recorded edWebinar, Dr. Kate Kinsella shares classroom-tested instructional routines and resources to implement a successful personal narrative writing unit that honors diversity and builds a more cohesive community of learners. Proven practices include well-designed discussion and writing prompts, scaffolded interaction guides, appropriate writing models, and targeted vocabulary and grammar lessons.
This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers, school and district leaders, and EL coordinators of the elementary through high school levels.
