  2. friday, Aug. 23 • Objective: I will understand the components of a personal narrative essay by annotating a good model. I will begin my personal narrative by narrowing down a topic. • Standards: Writing Applications 2.1, Writing Strategies 1.1 • Journal Question: What is the story behind your name? Who gave it to you and does it carry any special meaning?

  3. What is a personal narrative? • There are moments in our lives that changed us somehow. Moving to a new house. Seeing your brother go off to war. Listening to a record of your favorite band for the first time. Think of that one event that changed your life. You were a different person before; you were a different person after.

  4. 2 Parts of a personal narrative • Part 1: Event description in specific details, focusing on the senses. What happened? Who was there? What did it sound like? Where did it take place? Focus directly at the moment. Write about the exact hour or minute of the event so the reader can retrace your steps.

  5. 2 Parts of a personal narrative • Part 2: Explain how this event changed you. How did this teach you to be a different person? What have you learned, even ‘til this day?

  6. Essentially… How does this event make you the person you are today?

  7. “My Name” by Sandra Cisneros • As we read aloud, annotate the story using the symbols we learned last time we had class.
