 * **Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form):** **(T)** ||
 * **Goal:** Your goal is to transform your personal narrative from mere paper into a digital story, still showing all of the major components of a good narrative.
 * Role:** You are an up-and-coming autobiographer trying to make it big in New York City.
 * Audience:** The audience is a board of editors at Chicken Soup for the Soul headquarters, one of whom is an international correspondent with a limited proficiency in English.
 * Situation:** You have already written your personal narrative, but now you want to share it with the world. You are going to send it in to Chicken Soup for the Soul in iMovie format so they can review it to decide if you are going to make it into the final round.
 * Product/Presentation:** You will create a short video in iMovie that visually represents the major components of your personal narrative as you tell its story.
 * Standards (Criteria from both rubrics - product and presentation):**
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * **Other Evidence** **(OE)** ||
 * •**Glogster:** Make an online "poster" that illustrates the major components of an introduction, body, and conclusion.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * **Self-Assessment** **(SA)** ||
 * •**Pre-Assessment:** Students will fill out a Google Forms questionnaire about their previous knowledge of narratives as well as their level of proficiency in using iMovie. The final question will ask students what they would like to learn about each of those areas.

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** •Students will understand that narratives "show" - not "tell." •Students will understand that there has to be a "point" (or reason) to what you're writing. || •Common Core State Standards English/Language Arts Writing Text Types and Purposes Standard Number Three ||
 * **Understanding** || **Goal (MLR)** ||
 * •Students will understand that all narratives have a beginning, middle, and an end.

What criteria are implied in the standard(s) understanding(s) regardless of the task specifics? What qualities must student work demonstrate to signify that standards were met?

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * You are an up-and-coming autobiographer, looking to make it big in New York City. You hear that there is a new Chicken Soup for the Soul book coming out, and decide to submit one of your stories for entry into the book. When you inquire about the details, however, you discover that there is a requested format for the entry. The Editor's Board at Chicken Soup for the Soul is a //very// busy group of people. They don't have time to flip through the pages of every single story entry in their free time. What they have decided to do is meet in the afternoons and review the stories together, taking a vote to decide which ones will make it into the final round. Since one of the board members is an international correspondent with limited proficiency in English, the board has requested that each personal narrative be submitted in the form of a digital story - using iMovie to illustrate it with pictures and/or video so the board member who is an English language learner can follow along and have an equal vote. Your task is to create a short iMovie representation of your personal narrative to submit to the board. It should capture the major components of your narrative's beginning, middle, and end. If you submit your story on time, you could be in the next Chicken Soup for the Soul! ||
