It sucks! Writing a narrative story, especially when you are in Ms. Peterson’s class. She is just the worst! Nothing like Mr. Ray my old English teacher. When he was around at the start of the year, English was so fun, but like everything, it too must come to an end. “Luke!” the noise that disrupted me screeched across the classroom. It’s Ms. Peterson, with her grey old eyes, she glared at me, her glare pierced past the kids in front of me. “Luke, read out what you have wrote so far”, she commanded with a forceful look. My heart was beating faster and faster, my astonished face was stunned and I was speechless. I tried to force some out of my mouth, “Luke, just read out your story. Hurry we don’t have all day”. With a smirk, I looked down …show more content…
Then Ms. Peterson wandered toward me, at the very back of the classroom. “Look out man, she’s coming”, warning Thomas my best friend, he was sitting next to me prouder and happier than anyone in the class- he believes I could get an A+ for English, after reading out my narrative story. When Ms. Peterson finally arrived at my desk, she exclaimed with a smile, “Bravo Luke, Bravo. I never knew you were quiet the writer”, “Thanks Ms., I didn’t know either.” Ms. Peterson’s smile faded faster than you can say smile, her radiance disappeared when she peeked at my English book. “Luke, did you make up the whole story? You have only written ‘Once upon a time’, and your page is filled with drawings. Luke, you have a talent, you should make a story for the ‘Young Writers Award’, the entry close at the end of the term, I am very impressed with your narrative making skills”. With that, she finishes her lecturing, she quickly marched toward her desk then she frantically opened her drawers and was checking for something. “Bingo!” She stated, she raised her hand which held a colorful piece of paper. “While Ms. Peterson was at her desk, “Thomas declared “I told you that you’ll get and A+”, I answered him by saying no one said that I was getting an

This may not be the type of story that one is looking for as an extra credit assignment, sorry to say, but it's what you're going to get. As a teacher, one might be looking for a story or a poem, which in a way this is a story, the story of how a young man figured out how he was going to type this assignment. But first he want to let people know that even though they may be a teacher or mentor, that doesn't mean that life is all of a sudden fair. That being said, the teachers don't always get exactly what they want, despite the fact that they could give someone a zero for writing a paper with this style or format. He realizes that the teacher wanted a story or poem, and as he said before, he has a story; this is just

After Phyllis claims her sweater, we go to lunch. All I could think about was how mad I was at Mrs. Price. When lunch ended, we went back to the classroom. I was so mad at Mrs. Price I had to say something. I stormed up to Mrs. Price’s desk and said, ‘’ How can you even remember me wearing the sweater when it’s not even mine?!” I went on and on until Mrs.Price stopped me. Mrs. Price said, “ Rachel! Come with me right now!” I knew that wasn’t a good sign. Mrs. Price and I walked for a while until they got to their destination… The principal’s office. All of the sudden, I felt even more sick than before. Once Mrs. Price and I walked in, there was no sign of the principal. Then the most embarrassing part of the day happened. Since there
April Walker was a new student at St. Nicolau High School and so far it has not been what she had expected it to be. When she first met her teacher Mrs. Johnson she embarrassed herself to her and the whole class by slipping on the wet part of the floor. Everyone started laughing, April also laughed with them trying to fit in with what the class is doing. When it was time for lunch she sat alone while others were gossiping about her and how she goofed up on her first try. Mrs. Johnson sat down next to April. “I know that it's hard to fit in on the first few days or so but- trust me and our class, and they’ll come to you sooner or later”. That cheered up April, when she walked back home with her brother Henry , he felt dizzy and very weak. His eyes also looked very drowsy. “ Are you ok”? April asked .“Huh”? Henry answered.

“Miss Rose, it’s your turn,” The teacher sat down at his desk. His sharp, ridiculing eyes followed the speaker’s every move. She slowly walked up to the front of the class. She raised her paper to her face and began to speak.
I had barely gotten it open and read when Tiffany snatched it from me, her nails scraping across the desk like cat claws. Tiffany smiled wickedly to herself and hurled it to Emily’s desk. The folded note slid across the table to her and she grasped it with her thin fingers before it hit the floor, almost catching the attention of our teacher. As Emily scanned the hurtful words on the page that stung like venom, she clenched her fist and grabbed her bag, disappearing out the classroom door while our teacher called after her. The class became dead silent, until a lone “Ooooooh” from the back of the classroom caused everyone to erupt into a fit of giggles. I thought about running after her, but the laughter just encouraged Tiffany to egg it on. “Drama queen
She turned in the paper to the lady. “The results will be given after three days”, the lady said. Monica was nervous for three whole days, and when the fourth day arrived the announcement was made. Monic got first place. She couldn’t believe it, and her father especially couldn’t. That day her father, and her went out to eat as a celebration. “I can’t believe you won!” said her father, “Maybe you are capable of getting that degree, and become a teacher.” “I thought so too,” she said. After the huge celebration they drove back home. “Well,” she quietly said to herself, “really did it
My attention was quickly drawn to a book club called “Coffee with Linda” Each student had an option of five books pre-selected by her to read and report to an assign dates for “Coffee with Linda” night. The book I chose was called “A Beautiful Child.” The night assigned to “A Beautiful Child” for “Coffee with Linda” three of my classmates and myself gathered after class with Professor Linda Wilbur. She went around the table asking each and every one of us questions about the story and characters. The book was about a seven year old girl who was trapped in silence and her Teacher who never gave up on her even when everyone else had. Wilbur’s last question to each one of us was “Why did you choose this book?” It soon was my turn to answer her question. I froze, beginning to feel the anxiety build up I knew I had to say something; however, at this point it was a battle between my brain and my courage to either say a shallow reply or be truthful. I decided to be truthful; at that moment I felt my body fight against me. I began to say, “The reason I choose this book is because I could relate to her struggle being a selective mute myself.” Once I realized no one's eyes looked at me in judgment I continued with my story. Professor Wilbur was, so graceful and delicate with her words in response to my confession. At that very moment, hearing someone of her
Micheal, I agree with you on being able to tell a story. I learned in my first English class with Mrs. Burlenson, that writing is like painting picture where your reader can imagine what you are trying to say. Since that class I always try to paint that picture where the reader can read it and be able to visualize what was
Another two students arrived ten and fifteen minutes late. I explained the purpose of our lesson and allowed them to catch up by reading the story with which we were working. The process description itself was very clear to them and the timeline relationship between tense and time resulted simple towards this purpose. We reviewed the new vocabulary and applied it to different personalized scenarios. We proceeded to the writing exercise, which was my general objective, in addition to the lesson plan’s main aim. The students wrote their story based on their business processes, hobbies and life experiences. Each read their written production to their classmates, who discussed them, aided their correction, and provided feedback as groupwork. Results covered the full range: from excellent to deplorable. Although his classmates understood him, one my students could not express his ideas articulately, probably due to emotional stress resulting from the loss of his mother; another wrote something very short because he had to leave for a meeting; yet another did quite well and one did very well. I noted that their production scarcely utilized phrasal verbs.
