The only thing left to do is to format you narrative into MLA format. Attached are the directions and sample of MLA format for essays. Since this is a narrative, you do not have to worry about citations or a works cited page.

(Try NOT to use the words AM, IS, ARE, WAS, WERE, and THERE. Instead use actions.)

- Punctuation Practice - Part 1- Punctuation
- Punctuation Practice - Part 2 - Tag Revision
Create a google doc to complete the 2 activities and submit it in Google Classroom. Students must write down the complete sentences for both activities. (For the Tag Revision activity, you are replacing the words "said" and "asked" with different varieties of Dialogue Tags)

"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 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?

*I have also attached a list of possible ideas in the notes section of the unit.

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.

- In the comment section of this assignment, students are to freewrite for 5 minutes on this prompt: "When I write, I..." After you have completed the freewrite, set it aside for now.

2) Read and annotate "Hunting is Not Those Heads on the Wall". (If possible, I understand that students may not have access to a printer)

Circle unknown words
Ask questions
Talk to text
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)

4) Go back and read the freewrite you wrote in the comment section of this assignment, reflect on your "watchers", and then respond to question 4. (Question 4 should also be done on the same google doc where you answered questions 1-3.

Retake - Students are to use the Plot Outline to plot out the narrative for "The Tell-Tale Heart." Be sure to include the MAIN CONFLICT in your outline. You can print it out or draw your own, but it must have all the requirements on the PDF with the exception of having only 1 falling action. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE TWO EVENTS FOR THE FALLING ACTION.
