EOC Narrative Practice

1. You need to review the following narrative writing structure (outline). Narrative Writing Structure
2. Make sure the outline and its components are written down in your EOC notes. When you come into EOC test, you will need to be able to write the outline out FULLY with all of its necessary components. This will be for a grade from me.
3. You will next review thoroughly the scoring guide for the EOC narrative paper.  In your notes, where your "strengths/weaknesses" are located.. I want you to examine the scoring guide and identify your strengths from this scoring guide.. and then your weaknesses. NARRATIVE RUBRIC
4. Open Google Docs... and you will need to construct a FULL OUTLINE mirroring the structure that I have provided. You need to have EACH COMPONENT represented!
5. When your outline is completely executed, start your writing sample directly under your outline.
6. When you are DONE... with another color type, you are going to LABEL the components of the narrative in your writing sample. This will clearly identify if you are executing the narrative successfully, or not..
7. This will then need to be shared with the folder I have shared with you. Please put your name in the title of the document.
