Homework for Thursday/Friday, October 20/21, 2010

Continue writing on the personal narrative.

Hopefully, you have begun writing your personal narrative. Remember, your narrative should be reflexive. It should resemble a diary entry in that it is written in the first person "I" and it contains a personal memory. It should be autobiographical and based on fact. You can embellish the details to make it more interesting, but it should be essentially true. Don't write something so personal you don't want to share it. That type of writing belongs in a diary. You may be asked to read some of your paper to the class or some really good sentences could be pulled to show the class good writing.

For homework tonight, finish the narrative. Be careful of the spelling and punctuation, but really work on your voice. The paper should sound like you.
