The seasons of winter, spring, summer, and fall happen every year. In some places, each season brings very different weather. In other places, the weather does not change much. How are the seasons alike and different where you live? Do you play in the snow in the winter? Is it hot enough to swim in a lake in the summer? Have you gone apple or pumpkin picking in the fall?
Write a personal narrative about an event in which you participated during a certain season. Begin by researching seasons and how they change. Think about your activities in each season. Here are some questions to guide your research:
How does the weather in your town change with the seasons?
How does the land change with the seasons?
What activities can you do during each season?
Are you ready? Begin by visiting the Web sites listed in Step 2. Look for answers to the questions above. Write down what you learn in the boxes.
With teacher supervision, you may use search engines to research other Web sites. You also can research the seasons at the library. When you are ready, follow Steps 3 and 4 to write your personal narrative.
