Writing
Notebook:
As you
decide what experience you will write about, gather relevant descriptive
details you want to include—sights, sounds, smells, sensations.
Think like
a newspaper reporter and remember the questions reporters use to make sure they’ve
covered the important facts in a story: Who?
What?
When? Where? Why? How? For example:
• Who
was involved in the experience, and what did he or she say?
• What
happened, and in what order did events occur?
• When
did I have this experience?
• Where
did the events happen?
• Why
did the events happen? What set them in motion?
• How
did I feel about the events at the time, and how do I feel now? How
do I want my readers to feel about my experience?
what does it look like?
Who?
myself; runner who beat me in first race; coach
What?
pushed myself to succeed in running; nearly won first race; made
varsity team
When?
eighth grade
Where?
cross-country course; school cafeteria (awards ceremony)
Why?
I was motivated to become the only middle-school student on the
varsity team.
How?
I felt proud of myself. I want readers to see that trying one’s
best is even more important than actually
