Groundwork Assignment 2

Write the narrative essay that will tell the story of how the place, community, and/or person you chose to explore shaped the person you have become today. Most well-developed rough drafts will be about three pages in length. Keep in mind that this is part of the drafting step, so it doesn’t have to be technically perfect. Review the narratives discussed in class, your textbook, and posted on D2L.

Be sure your narrative has elements of plot and story. (There should be a beginning, middle, and end as well as description of people, setting, conflict, climax, and resolution.)

Some area of your narrative should include dialog (a conversation in quotation marks between two or more people). Since this is a personal story, there’s a chance you may have forgotten the exact wording that people used in these conversations. Do your best to recall these words.

There is no specific number of paragraphs needed. Indent as appropriate when you move to a new idea or topic.

Be sure that your work follows the MLA format (12-point font, 1-inch margins, indent paragraphs, heading, header, title, double-spacing). Save your work as a Word document (.doc or .docx) or .pdf . I cannot open Mac files, so if you are working from a Mac, be sure to save in one of the correct formats. (I CANNOT open a .pages document and cannot assess shared documents. You must upload the specific file in the correct format for me to assess your work. Work submitted in the incorrect format will receive a zero and 24 hours to correct the issue and resubmit.) Do not send a Google Doc link. Download a copy of the document to your computer, and upload it to the dropbox. ALL documents submitted for the course should follow the rules listed here in #5.
