» A narrative is simply the telling of a story. Whenever someone recounts an event or tells a story, he or she is using narration. » A narrative essay recounts an event or tells a story to illustrate an idea. » A narrative essay may be entertaining or informative. » There are five basic steps to writing a narrative essay.

» Why are you telling the story? » Every narrative must have a point or purpose, usually to entertain or to inform.

» You should establish the context of your narrative early in the essay. » You can follow these basic guidelines: who, what, where, and when.

» A narrative essay may be written in the first- person (I) or third-person (he, she, it) point of view. » If you were part of the action, the first-person provides the best perspective. » If you are relating an event based upon other sources, use the third-person point of view.

» Turn to your neighbor. » Tell a story in the first person about what you do for Christmas holidays. » You have 1 minute.

» Turn to your neighbor. » Tell a story in the third person about what you do for Christmas holidays. » You have 1 minute.

» Include enough details for clarity; however, select only the facts that are relevant. ˃Some of the details should include the following: +Setting +Character’s feelings +Dialogue: What is said or spoken

» Describing a place with all five senses. ˃Smell ˃Taste ˃Touch ˃Sight ˃Sound

» Describe one place at Mater Lakes without using the name of that place. » Use all five senses.

» A narrative usually follows a chronological time line; however, you may find flashbacks a creative option as long as the narrative can be clearly followed by the reader. Most narratives are told in the past tense. » You should keep tenses consistent.
