Step One:
Think:Think about your life and experiences since 15 March 2020 when we heard the words COVID-19 and "pandemic." Then we learned what "Quarantine" meant. Later, we heard the words "remote learning" and then it was "e-learning." What have these words meant to us? Have these words changed our lives? If so, then in what ways? If we have changed, has it been for better or worse? Have we change as a community and if our community has changed, how? Has that affected you personally? I want you to consider these questions and begin to organize your thoughts onto paper. There is a lot to think about.
So, brainstorm what you have experienced and choose three areas that had the most significant impact on you (positive or negative) Detail what the challenge was and how you felt about it. Did you find your way through it? Did something or someone have a role in how you experienced it?
Step Two: After brainstorming and jotting down a few ideas, develop a formal sentence outline. This outline should have no fewer than five paragraphs, but may be more. No in-text citations needed unless you use very specific information from the CDC, WHO, or local/national news.Better to cite than not.
Step Three: Begin writing your introduction with hook. Think about writing for someone who did not experience this; include details like background information such as where it came from, how it got here. What were your feelings as you learned about it.
The intro goes at the top of the outline and the conclusion goes at the end. Neither have Roman Numerals or Letters. They are paragraphs.
**The formal sentence outline follows MLA format and is
DUE 14 May (Thursday)
Step Four: Begin writing your narrative that chronicles your experiences from first hearing about COVID-19 to present.You may share how you feel in this paper and you may use first person pronouns. Do NOT USE CONTRACTIONS unless you are quoting someone.
You will be graded on how well you articulate how you feel about what has occurred and how well you have followed instructions.
The paper should be 1-3 pages typed, double spaced and submitted through google docs: Last name and hr must be on document. No name papers will be deleted and no credit given.
Paper is Due: 18 May.No late submissions accepted.
