Day 1 Directions (read aloud to students) You will have two days to complete your writing. Today, I’m going to go over the prompts that you can choose to write about. I’m also going to clarify the expectations I will expect from your writing and give you time to THINK about what you want to write about. Today, you’ll have 20 minutes to write. I’ll collect your papers and tomorrow you will have 30 minutes to finish your writing.

Prompt #1 O Most people have a special place. Describe a time when you took another person to your special place.

O Write a narrative essay that describes your thoughts and feelings so well that your reader can imagine being there with you.

Prompt #1 Continued O Include some dialogue between you and the friend you took. You could include what it looks like, what you do there, and why it is so important to you. O Be sure to include an introduction that sets the scene, and a clear sequence of events. O End your narrative in a way that lets your reader know your narrative is complete.

Prompt #2 O There are many special people in our lives. Choose one of them and describe a time when the two of you got together. O This could be a time when you did something really exciting, or were just sitting around and talking. O Describe where you were, what you were doing and why that person is so special to you.
