Project Details: Our final project for this unit is to write your own personal narrative! It will be due in it's "final for now" ("FFN") form on Thursday, October 10th. You will select a snapshot from your own life to write your personal narrative. You can choose how you will organize your personal narrative around your snapshot. The snapshot must be described in detail and must show what you experienced, as well as how this moment affected or changed you as a person. In addition to your snapshot, you will write an introduction to your personal narrative. This introduction will be engaging and hook your reader! (You will write the introduction after you finish writing the details of your snapshot!)

A quick look at the personal narrative rubric... Component 4 A Classic 3 Best New Author 2 Still Revising 1 Drafting Ideas & Content Creates a specific, focused, and very detailed picture of a place; expresses fresh insights about a sense of personal belonging. Crafts a clear description of a place; details help convey key ideas and insights to the reader. Attempts to describe a place, but may not give details; details may be general or unrelated to the story. Does not tell a personal story; writer may go off in several directions without a sense of purpose. Organization Unfolds a carefully- organized narrative, in a sequence that moves the reader smoothly through the text; ideas, sentences, and paragraphs are tied together. Shows a well-planned narrative strategy; story is easy to follow; ideas are evenly tied together; events and details fit where they are placed. Crafts an incomplete story structure, or may have trouble tying ideas together; reader may be confused by poorly-placed events or details. Writing is extremely hard to follow; story sequence, if any, is disorganized or incomplete; ideas and details are not tied together. Voice Conveys a reflective personal message that speaks directly to the reader; is deeply involved with the topic; shares a range of feelings. Makes a strong effort to share an original personal message; connects with the purpose and audience; attempts to explore a range of feelings. Tells a story, but in a predictable way; gets the basic message across, but does not seem very involved with the topic or the audience. Is not involved in sharing an experience with a reader; does not focus on anything of personal importance or interest; writing is flat and lifeless. Word Choice Uses both original and everyday language in a natural way; uses sophisticated vocabulary that is specific to the experience, creates a striking picture and brings the story to life. Uses words that fit the story and creates an accurate picture of a place; experiments with some unique words. May not use words that convey strong feelings or images; some words are overused or may not fit the story purpose. Has a hard time finding the right words; may use words that do not fit the topic; some vocabulary detracts from the meaning of the text. Sentence Fluency Well-crafted simple and complex sentences flow in a smooth rhythm; dialogue, if used, sounds natural and strengthens the story; sentence lengths and patterns vary. Crafts easy-to-follow sentences; may effectively use dialogue to enhance the story. Simple sentences work, but may have trouble with more complicated structures; sentences are understandable, but may be choppy, rambling or awkward. Sentences are incomplete, rambling, or confusing; may have trouble understanding how words and sentences fit together. Conventions Is skilled in most writing conventions; correctly uses subjects, predicates, and sentence combining; proper use of the rules of English enhances clarity and narrative styles. Spelling, capitalization, punctuation and usage are mostly correct; minor errors don’t interfere with following the story; some editing may be needed. Makes frequent, noticeable mistakes, which interfere with a smooth reading of the history; extensive editing is needed. Makes repeated errors in spelling, word choice, punctuation and usage; sentence structures may be confused; few connections made between ideas.
