DIRECTIONS:

1) Open your TTTC Narrative Essay Rough Draft

2) Write the middle of your story. Consider where it is important to start a new paragraph:

- New time (Ex: The next day...)
- New place (Ex: When I glanced up and saw the murky edges of the school emerge from the fog, my stomach turned and my hands grew clammy.)
- New speaker (Ex: "May I help you?" the secretary's gravelly voice demanded through the front entrance intercom)
- Action that serves as part of the dialogue (Ex: I peered into the glossy eye of the camera and gulped, "I'm here to shadow a 9th grader today."
- Dramatic Effect (Ex: Static. There was a full minute of static before she buzzed me in.)

FYI, in your final draft, I will expect you to include the following:

Blurb at the end that explains the feeling you were trying to convey AND how you conveyed it (word choice, pacing of story, etc.) (1-4 sentences)
Four vocab words highlighted
All five senses highlighted ( if you couldn't naturally fit "taste" in, you will still be able to get full points)
One instance of dialogue
