Good Morning,
 
Good Morning Musees,

Today is Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Please work on your PEER EDITING AND REVISING YOUR NARRATIVES today. I will continue to conference with you throughout the period.

Please remember all of the characteristics of a Narrative that you must include in your essay:

• It must tell a story somehow (have a plotline/sequence of events)
• It must have a setting (you may use flashback and flash-foward) to help create the mood
• It must have characterization of your subject. The subject's personality should come through. (Remember, show how this experience is personal to the subject)
• It should be from either 1st person or 3rd person point of view
• It must have a meaningful THEME (purpose, message)
• You should include as many elements of style that you can:
• description
• imagery
• dialogue
• figurative language (metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, symbolism, etc.)
• colorful adjectives and action verbs

Your revision (Draft 2) is due tomorrow at the beginning of the period. Tomorrow is Wednesday. We will have a quick lesson on punctuation (comma usage, specifically comma splices and run-on sentences. Then you will complete a self-edit.

Your final drafts are due on Thursday.
Turnitin information will be available tomorrow.

Have a great day!
MM
