Historical Journal Writing

This year in writing the 5th graders will extend their skills in narrative writing by writing journals from the perspective of different groups of people throughout history. We are beginning this work this week by writing from the perspective of one of the groups of Native Americans we studied in chapter 3. As we begin this work we are using the information we have from the text to complete this journal writing plan.

After completing the plan, we will write a journal entry from the perspective of that group or tribe. This journal entry will become the basis of our revision work over the next few weeks.
