We have been working on a unit in our SpringBoard books revolving around choices and consequences. The focus in the first unit is personal narrative. To supplement SpringBoard we have just finished the novel The Outsiders. I chose this book as it fits the theme of choice and consequence and is in the format of a personal narrative. It's also universally popular with middle school students.
We started writing the rough draft of a personal narrative based on a choice the students made. The focus for this paper is the revision process, and the students will be graded on the revision process. The class will be working on this most of this week and next as we fit our writing in around MAPS testing.
