Scrapbook Project
Directions: Choose 8 of the following to write narrative essays about to include in a personal scrapbook that will be bound, organized and illustrated.
Be prepared to read your essays to the class (do not write about anything that you would be embarrassed to talk about). Each narrative will be worth 50 points and will have a separate due date to be announced. Hold on to all of your essays, because when they are all completed they will be assembled into one scrapbook. Narratives are written in first person; they have a central theme and a statement of the event’s significance or personal comment at the end of the narrative.
