Personal Narrative

Let's practice. Select one of your brainstorming boxes from the warm up. Let's expand. Tell me about where you were when it all started. What were some key details in your setting?

What happened first? Think about relevant and unique details that would make someone want to read your narrative. Keep it organized so the reader doesn't get confused.

What happens next? Think about why this moment FEELS distinct from the beginning. Convey that to the reader.

What happens in the final moment? How did you know it was the end? How does the reader know it's the end?

What did you think, feel, or know after going through that experience? What is your big message that other people should know?
