ELA10 - Composition (2 credit), CSS, Melnyk

Before you begin planning your personal narrative, spend some time thinking about events (big or small) in your life that were significant to you. Think about people who have had an impact on you.  It might be something you decided not to do and regret. It might be something you almost didn't do but are so glad you did. Did you learn something about yourself?

Brainstorm these ideas.  You can use one of the graphic organizers from the top of the course.

To jog your memory, draw a life map with things that happened to you along the way and people who entered your life.

A life map is a visual map of events of your life starting with your birth. Leave some space as you work in case you want to go back and add something. Be as artistic as you want.
