Seniors 

Go through your notebook tonight and choose a topic/jotting that you want to develop into a full personal essay. Tomorrow you will write a flashdraft for 30 minutes. It will be your first writing grade. If you want to do more brainstorming tonight, I have listed the generating strategies we've done together thus far below: 

  1. Respond to prompts: Personal Narrative Bingo
  2. Draw/list/choose a memory that is most vivid and write in first person present-tense: Journaling Prompts
  3. Map a meaningful location. Mark an X and an annotation where specific things happened to you there.
  4. Brainstorm your most distinguished traits. Next to each trait, list moments when you demonstrated that trait most clearly.
  5. A. Consider how your perspective has changed:
I used be _____, but now I am ______
I used to have _____, but now I have ______
I used to think _____, but now I know______
For each of the above, think of SPECIFIC MEMORIES that illustrate how you were then and another SPECIFIC MEMORY for how you are now. Write out those moments, using journaling prompts: Journaling Prompts

Tip! Be real. Don’t be afraid to tell your story.
