Personal Narrative Rough Draft. Chapter 1 My hands were numb with my feet dipping into the freezing water. It watched under me.…
When Giovanny first wrote his personal narrative, he had trouble of finding things that interest him to write. I decided to spend more time on talking and getting to know Giovanny to spark any interest on any topic to write about. 2. After a while, he told me that I always go over to his friend’s house after he finished his homework to play. I wrote down all the possible things he wanted to write about on a piece of paper labeled as “My Writing Territories.”…

Jemma Henley slogged down the high school’s corridor and turned. After a short walk up the stairs, she was already out of breath. She looked down to see the small box protruding out of her chest that kept her heart rate normal. Walking wasn’t simple for kids like her. As Jemma continued her walk to the classroom, her v-neck t-shirt showed just the top of a scar that ran down her chest, and Jemma hated her "zipper," as many people called it.…
In preparation for the next school wide writing assignment, I am looking for some teacher input. In the second week of January, students will be writing a narrative in English classes. The topic of the narrative is up to the English teacher. There will be guidelines/rubrics in place, but ultimately, we would like to essay to tie into the content currently being taught in class.…
Throughout this course, I have learned several things, from how to write a rhetorical analysis to how to properly cite a quote. Prior to entering English 121 I had no idea what a rhetorical analysis even was. Then after that, I did not know how to properly cite a quote in MLA 8 format. Including learning how to write, I learned about different sides of very controversial subjects from sexual and gender identity though, the biggest problem I saw was the rate that our U.S. military service men commit suicide at. Finally, I learned how to properly format an essay for an example, this is the introduction paragraph and the following paragraphs will be body paragraphs!…
We walked up a pavilion sitting alone in a field surrounded by trees. The layout of the building was symmetrical, with four doorways to an cozy arrangement of picnic tables and outdoor fireplaces on both ends. The walls were stone and seeped a sense of abandonment. We made conversation while he began setting up his equipment. I explored the setting, admiring the crevices and graffiti left behind.…
I didn’t know what I was in for after that day. A writer’s key experiences is what makes them different from other writers and is crucial to their growth as a writer. The writing I composed in Mrs. Heningburg’s class was central to my development as a writer because it made me more confident in my writing and made me more aware of others reading my work as a writer. After hearing my last writing assignment's result in the class, I started expecting a high scoring on my writing works. The compliment about my essay from my sixth-grade teacher changed me, so let's start from the beginning.…
Obligated and constrained, I felt like I needed to share. Vacant and emotionless was my voice. When I opened my mouth I wanted to close it once more and never say those words again. The smell of metal and wood making me queasy and the sound of the bland chords emits vexatious emotions. Creating something you hate is beyond bothersome.…
As a student of New England College I have learned to appreciate writing it is Narrative, Critical thinking and persuasive / argumentative are styles of writing has allowed me to learn the format structure that works for all styles of writing.

I had grammar and spelling issues as well, but with help proofreading and revising has helped me to find my errors. Narrative writing with dialogue has proven to be one of the most challenging essays of this course.…
Personal Narrative Reflection Because of many different personal experiences I have gone through in the past, personal narratives have always come easy to me. Often times, students struggle because they genuinely do not believe that they have experienced anything worth writing about. This has never been the case with me.…

The three events that changed my life are, the death of Bernie Mac, The loss of Ronnie Shumpert and this year election. I did good on this essay. I had to sit down and think about the three events that changed my life.…
In high school my teachers did not really pay attention to grammar instead they paid attention to content. I always thought I was a strong writer, but when I got to college I realized my grammatical skills were lacking. We did not really write that much papers , most of our writing was for the last exams. My writing has improved a little with the skills I learned in ENG101.Although some of skills I learned a in high school and got some training , I was able to really use those skills in my college writing. I learned many skills from this class that will improve my writing .…
In essence, these stories zoom in on exact details. Instead of a student writing about their weeklong vacation to Disney, they write about one moment that occurred on that vacation. This writing technique comes from the Lucy Calkins writing program. To introduce students to this topic, we read a book called Peter’s Chair by Ezra Jack Keats. The book is very short, and tells the story of a boy whose life is changed when his little sister is born.…
Prologue I breathed in the pink eraser of my pencil and immediately felt my face frozen as my thoughts was blank. I had no idea what to write about my family history since I had not known my father for years and my mother was very difficult to comprehend. The bus ride of noisy classmates made it hard to think of anything positive about my life as the heavy weight, large bus driver hit every bump or pothole in broken concrete roads. There is one thing I hate most than being named after a coin, divorce parents in high school, is being an heir to a group of witches.…
