Convey Experiences Through Writing Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: W.4.3.D
Some people are great oral story tellers. They capture their audience's imagination and help them basically relive the story down to the last detail. I find that there to be many more people that can tell a story in their writing than verbally, but that is just for my experience. Not to mention I have been a Language Arts teacher that focuses on writing. Convey your experience in the written word is an art, but one that can be learned and grown from. These worksheets will help students begin to share their own lives through the written word.
