Write, Edit, Write Again

Our first assignment will be to write a narrative. Remember to put things in the proper chronological (time) order, include some descriptions, and be interesting. The steps for today are as follows:

First, choose from one of the following topics for your essay:
A. An interesting event that happened in your city
B. An interesting story from your childhood
C. An interesting story about a grandparent or ancestor

Then:
1. Write a topic sentence and make a simple outline in proper form as we discussed in class.
2. With a partner, follow the outline and tell your story. Let your partner ask questions or make suggestions if your story isn't clear.
3. Add supporting details and make changes to your outline after the discussion.
