Personal Narrative Think Sheet

This is one of the 'recipes' from a great book I've been using: RTI in the Classroom: Guidelines and Recipes for Success . The book was written by Rachel Brown-Chidsey, Louise Bronaugh, and Kelly McGraw. I love books like this because they're practical and offer ideas that can be implemented immediately.

The directions to the activity:

1. Model how to use the Personal Narrative Think Sheet as a whole group.

2. Explicitly teach how to complete each section of the think sheet.

3. Allow students time to work alone or with a partner in planning a story.

4. Hold brief check-in meetings to see how students have used the think sheet.

5. Monitor progress with story starter probes and a writing rubric.
