The Personal Narrative Writing about a small moment in your life.

Characteristics of Personal Narratives: There is an introduction, or lead, which describes a problem and establishes tension for the reader. The writing tells the story and the authores feelings about the story. (Show, don’t tell.) The story is based on a true event that happened to the author.

More Characteristics The story can be broken into several scenes, usually 3 or 4. There are details about the character and the setting. There is an ending that tells how the problem was solved. There is some dialogue (characters talking) and a description of things the author is thinking.
