This Weekend
Hello all!
I need for everyone to brainstorm for a personal narrative that we will be working on in class next week. Your personal narrative should be similar to the message in Waters of Gold: "Kindness comes with no price."
Remember that a personal narrative is a story that you'll come up with from events in your own life. Be thinking about a time in your life when kindness was shown to you, or when you displayed kindness.
Below you'll find the audio from the story. Listen to it if you were absent, or need to hear it again to think of a good topic for your personal narrative.
