Write a short (100
to 150 word) pitch (to attempt to
promote, sell, or advance someone or something) for your narrative essay idea. Why would we be
interested in the person you chose? What makes this person interesting? What
influence have they had on you that is interesting to others?
Bring your pitch
to class that day and prepare to discuss the pros and cons of your idea and to
improve your overall plans for your first draft.
