when i do this:

Please select one of the two narrative prompts and write a rough draft. On the first day of school you will turn in the rough draft and any graphic organizers that you used to create your draft. The rough draft will be taken through the remaining stages of the writing process during the first weeks of the school year. This will count as the first writing assignment of the first report. It does not have to be typed or published because it is a rough copy.

Narrative Prompts (choose only one)

•Your aunt arrives with a huge box. You hear strange noises coming from the box. Write a story about what’s inside.

•Although you asked for an MP3 player for you birthday, your parents gave you a telescope. But it’s not just any telescope. Something amazing happens when you look through it. Tell a story about what happens when you use the telescope.

Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have a writing assignment where you need to choose one of the two narrative prompts and write a rough draft. The rough draft and any graphic organizers you used should be turned in on the first day of school.

To complete this assignment, you will need some materials:

1. Pen/pencil: Use this to write your rough draft.
2. Paper or a notebook: Use this as your writing surface. You can use blank paper or a dedicated notebook for your assignment.

Here's how you can proceed:

1. Read both narrative prompts carefully and decide which one you would like to write about.
2. Once you have selected a prompt, think about the story you want to tell. Consider the characters, setting, and events that will take place in your story. You can jot down any initial ideas or thoughts on a separate piece of paper or use a graphic organizer if you have one.
3. Organize your thoughts and create an outline if it helps you structure your story. An outline could include an introduction, main events, and a conclusion.
4. Start writing your rough draft on the paper or in your notebook. Begin by introducing the characters and setting, and then proceed with the events and details of your story.
5. Let your imagination flow as you write your story. Incorporate the elements mentioned in the chosen prompt.
6. Remember, this is just a rough draft, so don't worry too much about making it perfect. Focus on getting your ideas down on paper.
7. Once you have finished writing your rough draft, review it and make any necessary revisions or edits. Check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
8. Keep your rough draft, along with any graphic organizers, safely until the first day of school when you will turn them in.

Remember, this assignment does not have to be typed or published because it is a rough copy. It should serve as the first writing assignment for your report, showcasing your creativity and storytelling skills.
