We have started narratives.

Homework:
  • Pictionaries for Unit 3 vocabulary.
  • (Section 6 parents, I sent home the vocab book purchase form.  Please return soon.)
  • I did not see sections 4 and HB due to testing today.
  • The rough draft of the narrative is due around October 25.

Today:
  • We listened to the unit 3 vocab words.
  • Then we read a sample narrative piece and discussed the first narrative writing tip: A narrative piece should be reflective and contain a lesson that you wish to share with the reader.  

Here is one suggested topic: 
Based on the essay we ready about the man who was not ready to be known for his speed eating ability, think about a time in your life when you realized there was something you did NOT want to be or become.  Likewise, you can discuss a time when you realized what you DID want to become.  Either is fine.

Please see the assignment page on my website for more details.
