Personal Narrative Essay - 7th Grade

            Students are to write a personal narrative from the perspective of a Mythological character.  They can either create a story, told from one of the twelve great Olympian’s point of view, or retell a story read in class, through the point-of-view of a character in the story.  Students must include at least five facts from any of the Myths we have read.  Students are expected to write well-organized narratives with descriptive language.  They are also expected to keep all parts of the writing process, as well as this rubric for their final paper.  The grading rubric is as follows:
