    Narrative Essay

    A narrative essay tells a story or narrates an event. In the story, we relate in


    detail something that has happened. When a story is sharply detailed, the reader
    will be able to picture the event and see and understand the experience from the
    narrator’s perspective.

    Please choose a topic below and write a narrative essay rich in details
    • First brainstorm a list of details that describe the story or event
    • Then organize your details (usually in time order of how they happened)
    • Begin to write the essay and include a strong topic sentence that speaks
    to the topic of the essay
    • Develop an introductory paragraph, body paragraph(s),and a concluding
    paragraph
    • Reread and revise your essay
    • Proofread and evaluate your essay using the self-evaluation check-lists

    Topic Choices:

    Choose a vivid time from your childhood. You might think of the first time that
    you rode a school bus, the first A you received on a test paper, earning money to
    buy something that you really wanted, or another vivid memory. Narrate the
    events related to the childhood memory that you have chosen so that your
    readers will understand why the event was important and memorable.

    Friends are important to everyone. Think of the friends you have and the days
    you have spent with them. Now, choose one day with a friend that you would be
    interested in telling about. Write the story of what happened on that day with your
    friend. Imagine you will be sharing your writing with someone who has never met
    your friend.

    Write about your family. Share an experience, a memory, a tradition, family


    wisdom, a celebration. Explain the significance to you of this event or
    experience.

    Write about an experience that changed your view of someone. Narrate the
    experience in detail and give special significance to how it changed your
    opinion about the person.

    Write an essay in which you recreate for the reader an unusual experience you
    have had, or you know someone else has experienced.
    Throughout our lives many of us make mistakes that teach us a great deal
    about us and life. Sometimes other people label these mistakes as failures,
    but to us these mistakes may have been significant because they helped us to
    change directions or reevaluate situations that helped us move on and be
    successful. Write about an experience that may have been labeled inititally by you
    someone else as a mistake/failure and show how it changed you and your life
    in a positive way.
