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!

Moving Forward: Pathway to Mastery Writing Process
Writing is one of those curricular areas that most teachers shake their heads and admit they wish they could do a better job with teaching writing. The problem is that writing is personal, we encourage students to find their voice and every voice is different which means that how we approach writing will be different for every student. It took me a while to get students to write. I have tried many programs and all of them have had some success, but did not build the type of writers I was looking
