Think of a time when your own emotions carried you away. Experience it again by free-writing, never stopping the motion of your pen for several minutes. Use the present tense to heighten the immediacy of your account. Now narrate a first draft, incorporating the best of your pre-writing. In the next draft add more SENSE IMAGES and FIGURES OF SPEECH. Move the action along with time signals (ex. "then," "next," "suddenly"). If you report dialogue, use quotations marks and begin a new paragraph for each change of speaker. Read your prose aloud before writing the final version.
*Final draft due Friday (weather permitting).
