Evidence Write a Personal Account
PROMPT
In The Inventor’s Secret, you read how Henry learns from Thomas that the “secret” to
success is simply not giving up.
Imagine that your class is creating a collection of personal stories about their paths to
success. Think about a time when you had to “keep at it” in order to succeed. Write a
two-paragraph personal account telling about a challenge you faced and what it took
to overcome that challenge. Use evidence from The Inventor’s Secret in your personal
account. Don’t forget to use some of the Critical Vocabulary words in your writing.
PLAN
Make notes about the central ideas and important details related to
overcoming a challenge. Then use a two-column chart to compare and
contrast a challenge you faced with one that is faced by someone in the text.
