Objective:  I can develop and strengthen my story as needed by revising and brainstorming, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose (W11-12.5).
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Pick up your Biography Interview and review the responses that stood out to your partner--remember they were recording what was most interesting--circle or highlight which parts surprise you that they wrote down.  
  
• Follow along to the prezi, considering how parts of what your partner recorded could be rewritten to support each prompt.  
  
• Although what you will write is not “fiction,” a personal narrative does ask you to consider the perspective from which you tell your story.  
  
• Be ready with your pen(cil) to brainstorm ideas about how your stories could change
  
  • Remember, “There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” Thanks, Hamlet.
    
• For each of the 6 prompts given, brainstorm ideas focusing on addressing one of the bolded words in each through telling your own story to stick to the purpose of the prompt.  
  

Exit Task:  After you have tried each, go back through and select one of the prompts to spend the rest of the time today working on developing.  Start a new page--your teacher will hand out the list of prompts, so you can be sure to address all parts of the prompt.  You do not need to finish today, but you should continue to brainstorm or begin to develop your ideas further.
