1. Review examples of snapshots and thoughtshots.

2. Examine essay samples of score 4 essays.

3. Examine sensory details and elaboration with "grandmother" essays by L. Hansberry and Maya Angelou.

4. Box or highlight two examples of snapshots and two of thoughtshots in your essay. Add one example of each:

1 simile
1 metaphor
1 personification

Rewrite your essay and bring tomorrow.

Make sure you note:

Thoughtshots involve the following:

Think, wonder, evaluate, make judgments, criticize, ponder, reminisce, express feelings in writing.

Do not use "YOU" use "I"

Be sure to write a personal narrative, write about what you know, and write from your heart.
