First Person Writing--


Directions: First person writing is writing that is done by imagining that you were there in history experiencing events of the past. You will create your own personalized version of the people, locations and events in the below photo.

Write a 1 paragraph response to the below prompt using the reading about immigration in your Gilded Age Packet. The reading will provide the specifics to support your imagined story. Full credit will only be given for writing that is thoughtful, uses ideas from the text, done in first person voice and takes the perspective of someone in the photo. You DO NOT need to quote your evidence. Use the details from the reading to provide the specifics for your writing. Write your paragraph in the below box.

PROMPT: You are one of the adults in this photo (you pick). It is now many years later. You are showing this photo to your grandchildren who are 1st generation American (meaning they were born in America). What would you tell your grandchildren about the way you were feeling on this day? What would you share with them?
