Grade 5 · Writing · Lesson 16

Publish a Personal Narrative Online Safely

Publishing a personal narrative online means anyone — friends, strangers, future teachers, future bosses — can read it. That is exciting, but it also means you have to do a safety check FIRST. A great story can still cause real-world problems if you accidentally share where you live, where you go to school, or what your full name is. The rule is simple: the story goes public, but YOU stay private.
