Personal narrative

3. Write a thesis statement that reflects the fact that you learned a lesson from a single situation when growing up (before you entered college). The thesis statement will be the last sentence of the introduction of your personal narrative essay. It should not specify what the lesson is.
   4. Then write a 3 page personal narrative, using the first person, about this lesson you learned growing up.  Remember that you want the reader to “experience” this lesson as a result of reading your writing. No “flashbacks” please. After the introduction, all should be in chronological order and in past tense(s).  Delete anything after the introduction that looks like “I didn’t know then but . . .” or “I should have known that . . .” Hindsight takes the reader out of “the moment.”

   a.    Do NOT use a lesson learned pursuing sports or while on a sports team or trying to get onto a sports team or playing a sports game; these all tend to take the writer into a boring list of actions, such as “Then x happened; then y happened; then z happened” or “I learned that if I try hard enough, I will succeed.”  Neither of these typically leads to a college-level essay.
   b.    college-level essay.
   i.    Do not “give a report” (e.g., first I, second we, etc.). You want the reader to experience what you experienced (remember the five sense) and learn “when” and “what” you learned “with you.”
   ii.    Remember to reveal what your senses are taking in as the action unfolds ___
   iii.    Be sure to include at least two similes/metaphors/analogies or a combination of these ___
   iv.    Be sure to include at least three lines of dialogue ___
   v.    Be sure to use active voice ___
   vi.    Watch for errors in past and past perfect verb tense.___
   vii.    Write in the first person (e.g., pronouns: I, me, my, we, us, our)___
   viii.    Use grammar check.___

   5. For your essay, be sure to reference the syllabus page titled, “Checklist for Essays”! This will explain the required format.  You will need a hand ruler to measure the distance between the top of the paper and the title; it should be 2 inches. To do this you will need to print out the first page and measure the distance with a ruler (and adjustments to the margin commands will probably be necessary-note the adjustments for future papers).

Imagine that you work for a company with an age diverse workforce. You have baby boomers working with millenials. Their backgrounds are different, and how they view work is different.

Prepare a five to seven (5-7) slide PowerPoint presentation for your staff meeting that addresses this issue and proposes a solution.
