The personal narrative is a common assessment that focuses on good story-telling! You have started with an in-class writing assignment, and now we'll work to improve the focus, description, action, and editing so that you end up with a vivid, effective piece of writing! The goals are to show you can edit your work effectively, can follow the rules of English grammar and punctuation, can use description to create a clear image (not too much, not too little), AND that you can write a piece that flows smoothly, with a variety of sentence lengths.
The files below will help you develop your sense of what we're aiming for, and then develop your skills to get there!
