Outline due: Thu Apr 14 First draft due (BRING 4 COPIES): Thu Apr 21 Final draft due (including outline, first draft, and peer reviews): Tues Apr 26

In 3-4 pages (approx 9 paragraphs), write a personal narrative that describes a trip you've taken. Be as specific and vivid as possible in your descriptions. "Show don't tell." Use concrete descriptions, sensory images, strong verbs, and metaphors to put the reader in your shoes. Remember that you can not recount every detail from your trip. Carefully choose the best, most specific, or representative parts of your trip to describe. Your paper must have a clear beginning-middle-end. Complete the informal outline below by Thu Apr 14. Find 3 specific unifying ideas or images for each section (beginning, middle, and end) of your paper. Consider each paragraph of your narrative as a "snapshot." Chose your "snapshots" carefully, so they suggest the whole story without having to tell the whole story.
