Can you tell the story and develop it in order to support your thesis? What background information is needed for your narrative? What, if any, evidence from the social networking articles could be used in your essay?

Thesis What is your thesis going to be? Will you use any of the events you wrote about in the process writes? Create a plan or outline of your narrative to make sure you have enough to tell the story.

Introduction How will you begin your narrative? Will you use anything from your process writes? How will you tie in your introduction to your thesis?

Body paragraphs Plan out the events of your narrative. A good narrative has a beginning, middle, and end. The details you choose to include need to tie into your thesis. Can you use anything from your process writes?

Conclusion This paragraph needs to bring your narrative to a close and tie it back into the topic of the essay. How has this event changed you and made you who you are today? Would you do things differently if given the chance? Or do them the same way? What advice would you give others? Can you use anything from your process writes?

What should I rethink> Was my position clear? Did I provide enough analysis to convince my readers? How was my tone? Am I too overbearing or too firm? Do I need qualifiers? Does my conclusion show the significance of my essay? Have I used key vocabulary words correctly to represent the topic?
