Monday & Tuesday, October 28 & 29 (Days 1 & 2)

ELA 8A

The students read for 10 minutes silently at the start of each class.  On Monday we read through three more examples of Personal Narratives and completed out chart about them.  If you were absent the stories are posted on Google Classroom.  Then on Tuesday the students brainstormed an idea for their own personal narrative.  It needed to include:
*an event from their real life
*be written in first person
*include all five senses (if possible)
*dialogue (internal and external) - written correctly with indents and quotation marks
Example:
       "How are you?"  asked my mom.
       "I'm fine, " I replied.
       "I'm really not,"  I thought to myself. OR in italics  - I'm really not, I though to myself.
* A message

Students had time to brainstorm and start writing out their narrative.  Thursday there will be time to finish their rough draft.  We're editing on Friday.
