I tried to concentrate on Ms. Meadow's advice: "Just listen to yourself and put it down on paper."

Quick Write & Lesson: I read the narrative, “Three Day Trip,” to the class. We had a discussion on the techniques the author used. We really focused our discussion on showing details and how the details revealed the author's emotions. We also talked about that every story we tell doesn't have to be a happy story, but it can be a story about "life" and about struggles and sadness. Good writing comes from writing about something from the heart and building details to make the audience feel emotions. Next, students wrote on the following prompt: Write about a time you lost someone close to you, a time you saw someone in pain or suffering, or a time you really missed someone.
Tomorrow I will return student's rough draft narratives, and students will make revisions and work toward a final draft of the narrative essay.
