2. Personal Experience Literature

Telling a story... From Reading to Writing In “Marigolds,” the narrator remembers an adolescent act that led to disaster and to the beginning of compassion. In “Two Kinds,” the writer remembers incidents involving a mother and daughter. Personal Narrative

Telling a story... These narratives involve events that left a lasting impact on the characters. Writing a personal narrative is one way you can explore discoveries and experiences that happened to you or to someone you know. Personal Narrative

B a s i c s i n a B o x Personal Narrative at a Glance RUBRIC Standards for Writing A successful narrative should focus on a clear, well-defined incident make the importance or significance of the event clear show clearly the order in which events occurred Beginning Introduces the incident including the people and place involved End Tells the outcome or result of the event Presents the writer’s feelings about the experience Middle Describes the event using descriptive details and possibly dialogue Makes the significance clear use descriptive details that appeal to the senses to describe characters and setting use dialogue to develop characters maintain a consistent tone

Writing Your Personal Narrative 1 Prewriting Your life, though it may seem average to you, is a new and exotic world to other people. Don’t be afraid to write about your personal experiences. Joe Hasley, student writer Your life, though it may seem average to you, is a new and exotic world to other people. Don’t be afraid to write about your personal experiences. Joe Hasley, student writer

n Think about interesting or unusual events that really happened. n Recall personal experiences that have been funny, sad, frightening, or unforgettable. n Brainstorm similar incidents you have heard about from others. How can you find ideas? Writing Your Personal Narrative 1 Prewriting

Planning Your Personal Narrative 1.Analyze the nature of the incident. What was its significance? Why does it stand out in your mind? 2.Decide on the tone you want to create. How did the incident make you feel when you experienced, saw, or heard about it? What is the main feeling you want to create in your audience?

Planning Your Personal Narrative 3. Make a time line. List all the parts of the event in time order. For each part, stop and list who was involved, where it happened, and some of the significant details. When the list is finished, decide which parts to include in your narrative and which parts you can condense or skip in order to keep the narrative focused and lively.

Planning Your Personal Narrative 4. Decide which parts of the narrative to enliven with dialogue or with details that appeal to the senses. What details could help you show what happened rather than simply telling about it? What dialogue would move your narrative along and make it more realistic?

Writing Your Personal Narrative 2 Drafting n Begin by describing the setting or an important character. n Give background information or flash forward to an event further along in the narrative. n Use your time line to help you remember the order of events.

Writing Your Personal Narrative 2 Drafting n Keep in mind what tone you want to create. n Use dialogue and plenty of descriptive details to help move the narrative along. n End by telling the outcome.

4. Writing CVs

Effective CVs

What is a CV? What is the purpose of a CV? To inform the employer about your education, work experience, skills and interests To ‘sell’ these qualities and to persuade the employer to invite you to interview

When should a CV be used?  When an employer asks for an application in that format  When an employer states ‘apply to…’ without specifying the format  When making speculative applications

Matching up your CV with the position/company It is not ‘one size fits all’, you need to tailor your CV to each position you apply for. Research the company. Do they have a mission statement or core values? What will they be looking for in you? Who works there at the moment? What are they passionate about?

Proving your ability There are four main things employers will look at in CVs: Education - ability to think clearly, analyse and assess information, draw conclusions, work independently, research Education - ability to think clearly, analyse and assess information, draw conclusions, work independently, research Work experience - ability to get on with people, work under pressure, meet deadlines Work experience - ability to get on with people, work under pressure, meet deadlines Leisure interests - ability to plan and organise, co- operate with others, compete, lead, work hard to achieve results Leisure interests - ability to plan and organise, co- operate with others, compete, lead, work hard to achieve results Specific skills – e.g. driving licence, computer skills, foreign languages, artistic skills Specific skills – e.g. driving licence, computer skills, foreign languages, artistic skills

CVs types Chronological In date order (starting with the most recent first) e.g. EMPLOYMENT April – December 2011: Venture – Editing Assistant Working with Photoshop, I have learnt various editing styles. I have gained customer service experience and understand the importance of listening to what customers want in order to achieve high sales. February 2009 – March 2010: Topshop – Retail Assistant My interest in fashion enabled me to help customers and to suggest styles that might suit them. I helped to design the layout of the stock in the store, with an aim to increase our revenue by positioning various items in ‘eye- catching’ places.

CVs types Skills based Focusing on skills e.g. SKILLS Attention to detail – as an Editing Assistant at Venture, I needed to prove that I could spot any mistakes or flaws in the photographs, as well as being attentive to the requests of the customers Computer skills – I regularly used Photoshop during my time at Venture. I am also a competent user of Microsoft Office, which I proved throughout my time as a Retail Assistant at Topshop, where I was often required to produce reports on our sales Customer service – in all of my roles, customer service has been of key importance. I have experience of dealing with difficult customers, and try to ensure that every customer is satisfied with the service they have received.

How has the vision of your founder, who recently passed away, been passed on to the new management team at Sony? How has the dissatisfaction of some CD retailers over your strategy to sell directly to consumer affected your distribution strategy via SonyStyle.com?
