Topic 3--Lesson I--Identify Your Story

In this unit, we will focus on the identifying your story.

You've already began to brainstorm a topic. So now you will begin thinking about your topic and creating 150 words minimum. This allows you to get a feel of what parts of your story you'd like to focus on.

Your story will be written from the first person point of view. This story will be about you or an experience you've had that is written by you. When you think about point of view you might also want to think about the message you are trying to convey. Questions like this might be helpful, what is the moral of your story? Why do you want to focus on this life event, rather than a different life experience? Answers to these questions will help you shape your story. Having a clear message also allows you to keep your story short.
