Friday's Agenda: Second Essay!


  1. Opening Moment: Wynne
  2. Submit your first draft of your first personal narrative/college essay into your first name/last name folder.  Label it: Narrative #1
  3. You are going to spend the period today writing a second first draft of a personal narrative/college essay.  Also put this in your name folder.  Label it: Narrative #2. Choose another prompt from the common app to write on (see tab at top of page for the prompts)
    • Consider one of the following ways to put a spin on your narrative:
      • Tell your story in the third person
      • Tell your story from the perspective of an inanimate object
      • Keep considering how the mundane could be the jumping off point of a great essay.
      • Start writing...from the end of your story
      • Start writing...from the middle of your story
      • Begin a story with dialogue
      • Begin with a shocking statement
*By the end of class today you should have TWO rough drafts in your name folder in Googledocs*
