Prewriting Revisit your prior work in this unit, looking especially at significant incidents that brought change to your life. List these incidents and indicate how each changed you. Share your list with a classmate, and work together to choose an incident that changed you in a significant way. Be sure the incident meets the following criteria: Is interesting to the reader Has a clear beginning, middle, and end Had an effect on you in a significant way

Prewriting List the events that make up the incident. Organize the sequence of events for your narrative by creating a Memory Map.

Memory Map Include the setting – the time and place where the incident occurred-and the situation. Who was involved? What was your life like before the incident? Describe the beginning of the incident. How did the incident start? What were you doing, thinking, and feeling? Who else was there? What were they doing and saying? Continue describing the sequence of events in the middle of the incident. Include important details so that the reader can experience the incident with you.

Memory Map Explain how the incident ended. Describe how the incident changed you. What is you life like now compared to what is was like before the incident? Reflect on the incident. What did you learn or discover or realize form this incident? How did it change you? What are the future implications of this incident? What do you now know that you did not know before?
