A Lesson Learned Prompt

A Lesson Learned
Each person has been in trouble at one time or another because he or she did something bad or said something wrong. Write a multi-paragraph essay describing an instance when you did something you later regretted and the lesson you learned in the process.
As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:
*develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic that clearly communicates the purpose of your story to the audience.
*describe the characters, setting, and conflict using meaningful sensory descriptions and details that enable the reader to visualize the experiences in your narrative.
*organize your story in a clear and logical manner, including an introduction, body, and conclusion.
*use well-structured sentences and language that are appropriate for your audience.
*edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard American English.
Use any of the tools available to you, such as the Checklist, Spellchecker, or Graphic Organizer.

This essay will be due on Friday. Please send yourself the essay in an email as backup. You will not have time in class on Thursday to work on this.
