8th Grade--1/8

Today the students tried to determine if a writing sample was written by a boy or girl to try and uncover ways to characterize gender. Then they worked on their Gender Story Start Assignments - Write a story start in first person, but the narrator should NOT be you. Although the narrator does not have to be of the opposite gender, writing in this person’s voice should present a challenge. The goal of the assignment is to make sure the gender of the character is accurately portrayed.
