Learning Objective:
I can…

• examine a model Personal Narrative about a Incident that Changed Me
• create a clean second draft
• Revise through Reader and Self Assessment
• create a final draft

Opening:

1. Take a look at the Scoring Guide on page 34 and 35.

2. I will Read Aloud a model

• What score do you give it?

3. What made that model earn the score you assigned it?

Work Period:
4. Create a Second Draft of your Personal Narrative Essay

5. If you have a second Draft, Exchange Essays.

• Read it through without a pencil/pen in hand
• Read it again, and do the following:
• Underline especially visual and vivid descriptions
• Put a big STAR by one area that could benefit from more details.  What might your partner do in this section??
• What is the HOOK the author used to get the reader's attention?  If there isn't one, suggest on (AQQS).
• Do you have a clear sense of the progress and sequence of events?  (Number the events in the incident).  If yes, why?  If not, explain why not.
• At the bottom of the essay, explain what happened (the incident) and why the writer is changed (reflection).

Closing:
6. Once you have worked through these steps, you are ready to create a FINAL  DRAFT that is ready for a final edit.
