Take note and pay attention to how the leads are developed and then try to write one that will hook readers to want to read your own personal narrative.  Have fun with it but make it interesting.

Think of the examples shown in the clip and then re-enter one of your personal narrative quickwrites and see if  you have a hook and if not then revise and add one.  Let's see what happens.

Take notes and then RE-Enter one of quickwrites you have and try to revise by applying show don't tell writing technique as you saw in the clip.  Try to do two revisions and then compare them and share with a peer to see which one really enhances your writing.

Watch the video and then think of brainstorming your idea for your personal narrative.  Remember your narrative should reflect first person point of view.

Take notes as you see the ppt on narrative writing then think about a moment you would like to write about as a draft and start writing, then once its written, go back and re-enter your piece to see if you have the characteristics mentioned in the ppt.  Share it with me via google docs to get feedback too if  you like or share it with me in person.  Writing is all about choice so don't forget that.  See you in class.

Hello to ALL!

Welcome to our blog page where you will have access to video clips related to what we will be learning in reading and writing.  I am excited to start a new school year once we return from our summer break.   Hope all of you are ready to learn as well.   I had to start this new class blog since our other page was not working properly so be patient as I start re uploading and re creating our page all over again.  That's technology for you, when it works its beautiful, but when it does not it's a major headache.  So, in time we will have all of it as it was in the other.  For now, I just wanted to greet everyone.  See you upon our return.
