Classwork 11/5-11/16

Language Arts Students:
All students will work on writing narrative essays. In class students will spend quality time working on two narrative pieces that will be the focal point of their writing portfolios.

The in class instruction will focus primarily on the writing process: The pre-write, 1st draft (should be the length of an entire essay 3-4 pages), 2nd draft (should be the length of an entire essay 3-4 pages), edit/revision (should be the length of an entire essay 3-4 pages), and the final/publish (should be length of an entire essay 3-4 pages.

Each completed narrative assignment is worth 350 max and 0 min.

In order to receive a grade of an A, B, or C students must complete the entire writing process in accordance with the requirements of the California standards for 8th grade writing. Students must demonstrate a thorough understanding of content standards: grammar standards, spelling standards, language and conventions standards, and usage standards. All of these standards are in your criteria and rubric handouts.

I have put on this site 5 A-B narrative essay examples.
