Narrative Writing Assignment Marginalized Perspective A30

1. There was a paragraph assignment due to be handed in, typed, today. It was assigned on Friday. (Check Friday’s blog post to see the assignment.)
2. Click on the handout for today’s writing assignment. Students are to write a four paragraph narrative piece from the First Person Perspective of a Marginalized individual. There is a list of situations students may choose from to put themselves into that person’s situation and write about a specific event that had a great impact on their awareness of being marginalized from society.
3. Students were to hand in what they had composed at the end of the class, strictly so that I could monitor who had used their class time efficiently and who had not. A participation mark was given out of 3 dependent on what work was shown, whether it be brainstorming or the actual writing.  (There was a sub in for today so it was an attempt to make students accountable for their class time.)
