As we attempt (spelling word) to get back into the swing of things REMEMBER to schedule meetings with advisors to discuss progress reports. Also, if you have any questions or concerns about your progress in Language Arts see me during the school day study or after school study to discuss your concerns.
HOMEWORK
Dream/Goal Personal Narratives: Write your outline!! Due Tomorrow
A personal narrative tells a true story about an event that the writer has experienced. In this case, students were asked to write a personal narrative that outlined an event that helped to shape or mold their life goals or dreams.
To write a personal narrative, you may follow the steps below:
- Think about an experience that shaped your goals
- Choose an experience you want to write about.
- Think about what you saw, heard and felt. Use an idea organizer to help sort out your thoughts. (we did this in class, but you may use this ORGANIZER website to help you)
- As you write, use “I” throughout your story. (Most narratives are told using the first-person point of view.)
- Write an introduction that gets your reader’s attention and tells him or her what your story will be about.
- Write about the events in the order in which they happened. (What happened first, second, third?)
- MOST IMPORTANTLY Be sure to add sensory details, such as how something tasted or what something looked like. This will help your reader feel like he or she was there, too. Draw the reader into the experience!
- Write a conclusion that ends your story. Tell the reader why this experience was important to you and what you learned from it.
- Once you have finished your personal narrative, be sure to review your work. You may even share with your family/friends and ask them if it makes sense.
