What you learned today:
The narrative essay will be evaluated on 4 areas: idea, organization, voice, and conventions. With the idea, you need a true story with imagery, characters, optional dialogue, and theme. With organization, you need a memorable title, an introduction with a attention-getting hook, sound body paragraphs, transitions between ideas, and a strong conclusion. With voice, pay attention to your word choice by including specific, mature language and active verbs, your originality of expression, and your non-usage of contractions and second person. With conventions, MLA format does matter as well as mechanical conventions.
The final draft is due by 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
What I learned today:
Your class is quite competitive and likes the buzzer system. I guess we will have to use that for future vocabulary reviews!
Happy Homecoming!
