Personal Narrative final assessment - Hannah Feldman 2
Storyboard Text
- That is sounds like a nightmare.. how will I think of an idea?!
- Hello class! Today we're starting a new assignment, you get to write a scary story about anything you want!
- Maybe I can write a story about a zombie apocalypse! No, that isn't scary enough..
- What if it sounds stupid? What if I get a bad grade on this and I fail the class?
- Hmm.. Everyone else had fun with their stories, so why didn't I?
- I wrote my story about a vampire! What about you?
- That sounds really cool! I wrote mine about a witch!
- When the teacher announced we could write a story about anything, everyone seemed to be excited except me. I already had difficulty with my writing, and having to come up with an idea was just additional stress!
- How am I ever gonna finish this essay? It's too long and it doesn't make sense at all!
- I went through infinite amounts of drafts for the story that week, trying to write the story in my lonely basement. No matter what I picked, the story always felt like it wasn't good enough, and I couldn't stop worrying about my grade. I thought my writing was bad enough to make me fail
- I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Even if I think it's bad, it'll work out fine, just like in 7th grade!
- The day after the project was due, everyone at school shared their stories, and was having fun with the project except for me, even though I got a good grade. I realized that in order to enjoy writing again, I had to stop being so hard on myself.
- Now, whenever I'm doing something for school, and can start feel my heart beat faster over a simple project (which happens quite often)...
- ...I try to remember the story from 7th grade. Even though I spent hours worrying about my story and still wasn't happy with it, I ended up having a good grade, which changed my perspective and showed me things don't always need to be perfect.
