Brainstorm and write a story about your first day at a new job (or at a new school).
Pre-write: Make a list or a cluster map, or both. Write your ideas, thoughts, and feelings about
this day in your life.
23
Organize your ideas: Look at all the ideas you brainstormed. Decide how you want to organize
the information. You can use chronological order and write about what happened first, second,
third, and so on. Or, you can put together the information about the workplace, the people, and
your thoughts and feelings and write separate paragraphs about each group of ideas.
Write a first draft: Write your story. Indent the first line of each paragraph. Use this title:
My First Day at a New Job (or, My First Day at a New School).
