ELA A10: Dec 14
- Students were given a writing assignment yesterday. Today, they settled down into some actual writing and were able to write their rough drafts of the four-paragraph assignment.
- They were told to write this in parts:
- Brainstorm for setting, plot, climax, and challenging situation
- write a rough draft and edit it
- complete a final copy
- The one part most students were failing to do was include in their narrative their personal reflection on their challenging situation. A narrative is to share with the reader a particular event that occured that has great meaning to the author. They need to include in their writing how being in this situation would affect them personally.
Some made comments after that it was the first class they were actually silent and all working. I loved it!!
