 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit, we will learn the ins and outs of writing personal narratives, as well as how to transform them into digital stories they can be shared with the world. We will learn the organizational structure of narrative writing, how to use sensory details to make our writing come alive, and how to make sure our writing has a "point." A series of checkpoints will be conducted along the way, including peer editing and group discussions concerning the major components of a personal narrative. There will be two "big" products created and submitted by the end of this unit: a 3-5 page personal narrative that you will submit to me via Google Docs, and, to bring everything together, an iMovie digital story that condenses your narratives so they can be shared audibly //and visually with the rest of the class. The power of a single story can change the world. What will your story do? //
