“My Favorite…” A Descriptive Writing Assignment Sheet
Due Date:___________________
To wrap up our work on Six Traits Writing Ideas, I would like you to complete a descriptive writing assignment, “My Favorite…” You may share your descriptive piece aloud on the last day of the writing process procedure for 5 extra credit points.
Assignment:
Write about a favorite place, memory, experience, object, or person that has made an impression on your life in thorough detail. You need to write in a manner that will appeal to your readers (which are your classmates and I). Show significance and meaning of your “favorite” throughout your writing piece by providing insight, writing selectively, using sentences that show rather than tell, and using details that evoke all the senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell). Try to make an exciting introduction that will hook your reader and end your writing piece appropriately. Pay attention to spelling and conventions. Remember, I will be grading more heavily on ideas/development for this assignment. Use MLA formatting.
What you need:
• To complete a prewriting strategy filled with ideas for your writing piece by the end of class. You can brainstorm using a story life map, your list from “100 Natural Highs” project, or webbing. I need to see lots of DETAILS!
• Use thoughtful examples from material already discussed in class such as “100 Natural Highs” project, bell ringer entries, your own inspiration, etc.
• Provide purpose for your “favorite” writing piece—Make sure to SHOW readers the story, not TELL them.
• To complete a self evaluation form after writing your first rough draft.
• To complete a peer conference day that includes making an appointment with classmates to discuss your paper strengths and weaknesses. You will need to complete 1 Peer Conference Writing Record sheet.
• Positive attitude and a smile. This will be fun!
Helpful Tips:
* Use your “100 Natural Highs” project to brainstorm writing ideas. Pick a favorite that you know a lot about.
* Stay focused on one of your “favorites.” Try not to branch out on several unnecessary topics. Make sure your main point stands out clearly and DO NOT use “snoozer”/ “filler” information.
* Remember that you want your reader to feel like they are experiencing your “favorite” with you. Your reader should not want to stop reading after they have started reading your paper.
* Be specific with details in your story. Make sure they are significant and support your main point.
* Use peer feedback from peer conference day and your self evaluation form to tweak your final piece.
** Check out the rubric on the back for how you will be graded on this final piece.**
