Students should be composing a rough draft of their personal narrative. They will receive a grade and will be able to do peer editing on Wednesday. This will assist in the composition of the final draft. The final draft is due on Monday, October 8, 2018 in Edmodo by 12 midnight!
One of the keys to writing is using appropriate transitional words and phrases. For students who struggle with writing a cohesive essay or paper, it is essential that they use words that not only create a natural flow or progression, but link each point together. Using transitions is also a key aspect in each type of writing in the CCSD standards: ELAGSE7W3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences. Scholars should utilize these transitional words within their writing: Personal Narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Students received today the packet for this assignment. The pre-writing assignment (pages 6-7) is due on October 1, 2018 (QUIZ GRADE). The first draft is due October 4, 2018.
This is a PPT on simple, compound, and complex sentences. Please utilize it to improve your writing.
We are off to a great start as we begin our first unit: The Choices We Make. Students will be reading different genres with a focus on 'choices'. Students will examine texts that present characters who, personal or cultural reasons, have to made choices about the way they live their lives.
