Narrative Awesome-ization!

Wow! I really enjoyed our Narrative Writing unit! Now it's time to awesome-ize your story, proofread for errors, and complete the final draft!

On Tuesday, you will read your story to your peers in Class Connect.

But first...

Don't forget to bring your personal narrative to life with descriptive language. 

You can do this by adding details, similes, metaphors, 

and strong verbs!

The following movies contain more examples of descriptive language!

DESCRIPTIVE DETAILS

STRONG VERBS

SIMILES & METAPHORS

Here's a look at the grading rubric I will use to score your final draft. 

Before turning it in, make sure you have everything!

I cannot wait to read your stories! Please upload them to File Sharing on Tuesday before 5:00! 

Yay!
