Personal Narrative- Final Draft and Revision Plan Due Friday, Oct. 2
Take your personal narrative from the beginning of the semester and revise it to make it a final draft. We will spend three days of class time working on revision, but you should also utilize time outside the classroom to make additional revisions and edits. In addition to your final draft will be due a pink sheet, called a Revision Plan, where you will discuss and outline your revisions. This is part of your final grade, so be sure to spend time on it. The reason this is important is that we are working on common core standards about revision, not just standards regarding a narrative, so the revision process is as important as the final narrative.
