English home work-week of Sept 24

We are writing personal narratives this week. When you write you should have the "Six Traits of Effective Writing" right in front of you for reference--those six traits are what I'm looking for in good writing.

Class One: for 9/26--Write your first body paragraph using just one of your details. Remember to double space and pay attention to margins.

Class Two: for 9/26--choose one prompt from the list of nine. choose one with which you are comfortable. Then brainstorm twelve to fifteen details that you could use in your narrative; you can use any graphic organizer you want (list, web, etc.)

Class Five: for 9/27--Write your second body paragraph. Remember to double space.

Class Six: for 9/26--same as class two.

All classes will have completed a first draft by Friday of this week or early next week. A final draft will probably be required by October 3rd or 4th.
