I can…
- understand the key components of an effective narrative
- apply narrative elements to storytelling
- draft ideas about personal incidents involving choices
Opening:
1. Return to page 13. Large Group Discussion about Personal Narratives
- What happens when a person doesn't tell an anecdote or a joke well?
- How long does it take for you to know whether a short story or novel is something you will enjoy reading?
Work Period:
2. Independently Review page 14: Does each incident involve a choice? Who made the choice?
- Mark each with an S (Self) or an O (Other) to indicate whose choice it was.
3. Discuss and Take Notes on the top of page 15: "Writing about an Event from Your Choices Chart"
- Incident
- Response
- Reflection - lesson learned
- Reflection - utility of lesson in the future
4. In a small group, orally review excerpt from "Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes" on pages 11-12. How does each element apply to the personal narrative?
5. Define "personal narrative"
Closing:
6. Choose a topic from your brainstormed list of Choices on page 14.
7. Tonight: Prepare to orally tell about the incident by writing notes at the bottom of page 15 in the "Oral Story Telling" section.
