Read "Steal This Movie, Too" by Thomas Friedman, write a personal narrative about your experiences in school, and reference the above article a minimum of five times in your personal narrative. To complete this assignment you will need to identify Friedman's argument (what is he trying to say, how is he trying to say it, and why is he saying it). Be sure that you use quotes to indicate borrowed ideas and words - unless you are paraphrasing. In either case, you will need to cite Friedman after each reference. Your personal narrative should be written in first-person point of view, though you may use third-person point of view when introducing Friedman's opinion. I will not accept second-person point of view!
Narrative Requirements:
1. Three-typed double-spaced pages
2. Error free
3. Integration of various sentence structures (simple, compound, complex, and/or compound-complex)
4. Logical idea development and organization
5. Rough draft and a final draft, with evidence of proofreading and editing
6. Read another student's narrative, if possible, and assist with proofreading/editing
7. Voice your opinions by examining your own personal experiences
8. Formal language
9. Correct use of <i>their, there, they're, its, and it's</i>
10. Demonstrate that you understood Friedman's editorial, that you value your own life experiences, and that you are able to connect to another writer's opinion
