Personal Narrative: Blueprinting Places and Memories
This assignment allows students to draw, label, and reflect on a special place. I used this with HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, but it could be used for many literary works. This assignment can result in a personal narrative, an expository piece, or a persuasive piece (especially helpful for the STAAR EOC). My students wrote some amazing essays based on their blueprinting. I have seen this used in adult writing workshops; it is a powerful tool. Enjoy!
