On your way in... Pick up the half sheet paper on characteristics of personal narrative and memoir Pick up the double-sided WS on our story “Little by Little”

Warm- Up In lieu of (in place of) POTD, please grab a textbook from the cart in the back of the room and place your memoir graphic organizer HW on your desk. To prepare for today’s reading, I’d like you to silently read over and review the characteristics of personal narrative and memoir on the half sheet paper

Personal Memoir Writer’s Workshop Day 3 Reading as Writers

Today’s Goals To use active reading strategies in order to comprehend the excerpt from the text Little by Little: A Writer’s Education by Jean Little. To compare the text to the characteristics of personal narratives and memoirs to determine if it is an appropriate mentor text for our class’s memoir writing. To notice what choices the writer makes to engage her reader in order to model those choices in our own writing.

During Reading By the end of our reading today, you need to have 2-3 active reading strategy annotations on your notebook paper If one of your active reading strategies is questioning the text, I’d like to challenge you to embrace “A: Ask for help,” and ask the question when I open up the floor

After Reading On your own or with the student next to you, answer questions 1-3 under “Characteristics of a personal narrative” on the back of the WS.

Mentor Figurative Language/ WOW words Idiomatic expression: “Hugh, who always recovered with the speed of light...” 7 th grade vocabulary words: Displayed, examined, gravely, glowered, anguished, etc. Find a place in your introductory paragraph to use one of these techniques if you haven’t already

Mentor Grammar Parallelism (Add these notes to your writing/literary terms section on pg. 10) Observe: “I was gobbling toast and honey, gulping down milk, and hating my cheerful little sister who was the cause of all the trouble...” In my free time I like to read, skate, and watch TV. X On Friday I went to the mall, bought a bag, and I was taking my puppy to the park. How would I fix this? Note: The repetition of similar grammatical structures in a sentence Imitate: Use parallelism to connect ideas into a series in one sentence.

WW goal and checklist Goal: Draft a complete introduction of my personal memoir Hook First person POV Past tense language Figurative language/WOW words Parallel sentence Elements of Exposition

Closure Answer comprehension question #1 on the front of the sheet. Who did Jean blame for being late for school? How is this the inciting incident of the story?

Topic Consideration Questions Can I write descriptively about the topic? (your recollection of the sensory details does not have to be 100% accurate) Is there a place for dialogue? Is there something more to the story than just talking about an interesting or fun or exciting moment in my life? In addition to answering these questions, I mentally reviewed my Writing Territories, the places I’ve traveled, Penn State stories, losing grandparents, and things that make me happy

Choosing My Topic: What Should I Write? Penn State memories Ice skating class Learning how to shoot the duck Final Performance (hard work, practice, pride, accomplishment, realizing childhood dream)

Option A

Option B
