Preparing for the Personal Narrative

The first major writing assignment will be a personal narrative.

Write an autobiographical narrative based on a challenge or choice in the student’s life that follows a logical sequence. Use narrative techniques such as dialogue, pacing, and descriptive details. Include a conclusion that reflects on the significance of the experience.

This week, we are continuing to brainstorm and pre-write.  

The Soundtrack to My Life homework assignment is designed to help students record their memories, hopefully discovering memories they didn't think of for their Life Map.  

This homework assignment is due Wednesday, Sept 14. 

Directions and a Sample are below.
