Due 11/30: Butterflies and Personal Narrative

November 28, 2017 By

1. Butterflies–Read and annotate Chapter 6. Thursday, your annotations will help to direct discussion.

2. Quarterly Exam–The exam for this quarter has two parts:

  • Personal Narrative (4-6 pages)
  • Confessional Poem

Tonight, brainstorm ideas for your personal narrative.  In the spirit of Butterflies, your narrative will explore a specific experience. Ideally the story you tell will be connected to your confessional poem. As a reminder, all stages of the writing process may be collected and graded, so always be thoughtful (especially when brainstorming).
