Colonial Lives

The narratives we wrote were inspired by both history and our imaginations. We were told to put ourselves in our person's shoes, and to help better understand what our fictional or real person felt, we drew a self portrait of ourselves, with the colonial attire. We also recorded a bit of our narrative for a Quicktime file, so the readers will better understand what each of our stories are about.

When we started our narrative writing process, many of us were unsure about the outcome. We started from a one page character sketch, and slowly but surely made draft after draft and edit after edit until we got the best possible piece of writing we could do. This took place in Language Arts and Social Studies. In Art, we worked ourselves to the max and drew and colored (with chalk) our portraits. Our sound files were constructed in Language Arts also, and we chose the best parts of our narratives to record. We hope you enjoy these narratives, portraits, and sound bytes.
