 * Narrative Essay: Students who were absent on Friday**

The following narrative essays need to be revised by a partner. Some essays are linked to the student's name and others were not emailed to Mr. Gibbons in order to be uploaded, so those students will either need to email their essay to their partner or print a copy and hand it to their partner. Choose a partner and revise each other's essay according to the following guidelines:
 * Review the slides (Providing Comments Slides Show) on how to make quality comments on an essay and the types of comments that should be made.
 * You must make one specific positive comment at the top of the essay.
 * You must make 10 marginal comments, one for each bullet in "Guidelines for Narration" on pp. 181-182.
 * You must make one end comment that addresses the overall essay.
 * This assignment is worth a total of 60 points based on the amount and quality of the comments made.
 * Email a copy of the essay with your comments to both the author of the essay and Mr. Gibbons (scott.gibbons@grant.kyschools.us)
