"Because you are all writers your personal narratives will need to have a plot. Just because it happened to you doesn't mean that you can write about it!"
(Meaning: not everything that happens to you is worthy of a story because there's not always a conflict involved)

1) Read "The Three Little Pigs" and plot chart attached with the story.

2) Review your one page freewrite on your memory / life event that you have written and think about the narrative. Create a plot chart to ensure that your narrative has a conflict. If possible, print the pdf and use it to help outline your plot. If not, you can create your own on a piece of paper. Take a picture of it to submit i to submit it in google classroom. Make sure your picture is legible. On a Google doc answer the following questions and submit that for credit also

- Do you have a conflict?
- What is it?
- What is your turning point and what leads to it?
- What is your falling action and how does it lead to the resolution?
- Does the resolution fix the conflict?

2) Read The Importance of Focus in the notes sections of the Narrative Unit

3) Read the directions and sample paragraph attached in the Maggy activity. Create a google doc and list the possible smaller topics that you identified from the sample paragraph.

4) On the same google doc that you did the Maggy activity:

- Choose one memory from your brainstorming list
- Think about focus: choose one part of the event to retell in detail
- Think about your memory for several minutes, relieving it in your mind, but without writing
- Finally, on the google doc write as much as you can remembering about this focused event. Freewrite for a page in length, without worrying about paragraphs, dialogue, mechanics, etc.
-Submit the google doc for credit.

Circle unknown words

Connect to yourself, the media, the world
Highlight or underline important ideas

3) Answer questions 1-3 from the second page. (You can create a google doc to write your answers and submit it)
