Bell Ringer: Reading
Read the excerpt from //Autobiography of a Face// by Lucy Grealy. Mark the text as you notice the way the piece is structured.

Partner/Pair/Share
With a partner, break the piece into its pieces. This has several "snapshot moments" or "scenes" in it. Can you figure out how many? What happens in each scene? How do they connect? Make sure to annotate for this! I want you to turn in your annotations!

Writing
Read the student samples provided. These are examples of "snapshot moments." Notice the description in each one. How does each author put you in that moment with him or her?

Homework
Write your own snapshot moment! I've provided a graphic organizer to help you brainstorm!
