1. New SSR Log

2. SSR (15 minutes)

3. "Show, Don't Tell" mini lesson: 
-Let's read another student's personal narrative.  Talent Show
Personal Narrative Organizer
As we read, pick two things that you think made their writing interesting.  
Pick one thing you would like to do when you write your own story.  
Turn to a partner and talk about what you found.

-As a class, we will make a list of good "Show, Don't Tell" techniques.

-Now you'll begin planning your personal narrative.  
First you'll draw out a story map, then you 'll begin writing.  
Be sure that your story has a beginning, middle and end and the key elements of literature (characters, setting, climax, resolution).

-After you've spent about 15-20 minutes on your story map/began writing your story, you'll trade with a classmate for him/her to review.  With constructive criticism and suggestions in mind, edit and revise your work.  

-We will finish writing our stories Wednesday.
