Today was tough for many of you. Another way to look at today's lesson is simply to answer these three questions.
Have you taught the reader something about the topic (teaching) - This is the anecdote
Have you showed that you learned something about yourself (learning) - Reflection
Have you showed the reader that you have changed in some way (Change) - Further reflection
If you are confused - write your story. After you have finished, see if you have included the above aspects in your paper.
Show RESILIENCE - Try hard..then a little harder...
Characteristics to include in your piece
- Use everything that you know about small moment narratives
- Include 'times shifts' - (would +verb or had+participle)
- Reflect on others feeling not just your own
- Teach the reader something about you; show that the story taught you something; show that you are somehow different or changed because of the story
