YOU MUST WRITE A MINIMUM OF THREE PARAGRAPHS!! This is a narrative writing.
You have made a very important discovery–one that will make you famous throughout the world. Write a story in which you tell about your discovery and how you made it. Be sure to include details about the setting and any characters in the story, and be sure that your story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. This prompt is a narrative writing prompt (which means you can use the word "I"). Make sure that you use details and evidence to support what you are saying. Your response should be at least three paragraphs.
Think of an experience when you realized that you suddenly understood an idea, a skill, or a concept you had been struggling with--it might be something related to a class that you took or a specific athletic skill you were trying to perfect. For instance, you might think about trying to understand how to identify iambic pentameter in a poem or how to complete a math problem in your Mrs. Cain's class. Or you might consider trying to perfect your free throws and suddenly understanding how your follow-through was affecting your success. Write a narrative that tells the story of your movement toward understanding. How did you finally come to understand? What changed your perceptions and gave you a new understanding? Your response should help readers understand how you felt to struggle with the idea or skill and then to understand. Your response must be at least three paragraphs.
Imagine you are watching the marathon on TV. A runner who looks like a relative of yours who died last year stops in front of the camera. He silently takes a sign out of his pocket. The camera picks out the words, 'help me' and your name. Describe, in the first person narrative, what happens next. |
