Narrative Writing

 The first important thing to remember about a narrative essay is that it tells a story. The author may write about  - an experience or event from his or her past  - a recent or an ongoing experience or event  - something that happened to somebody else, such as a parent or a grandparent

 The personal narrative takes a moment, a singular moment, and completely EXPANDS it. ZOOM in on ONE moment.  Show, DO NOT tell!!  Don’t be obvious!!!  Not a personal narrative: Telling the story of your 8 th grade science class that changed your perspective about biology and life  Personal narrative: The one day and moment in science class when you looked through a microscope for the 1 st time.

 The writing in a narrative essay should be lively and interesting.  Engage the reader's interest by adding details or personal observations.  Sharing personal thoughts and details invites the reader into author's world and makes the story more personal and more interesting.  Use descriptive language (verbs, adjectives, and adverbs)
