Narrative 11-12

When writing about experiences, whether they are real or imagined, you are writing a narrative. Choose each detail you include well and structure your events using an effective technique to help make your paper flow cohesively.

• You want to engage your reader and to do so you can:
  • Set a problem/situation/observation
  • Introduce multiple points of view
  • Introduce characters
• Create a smooth transition between events.
• Use techniques such as dialogue, description, events, experiences, and characters.
• Maintain the same tone throughout your essay.
• Make use of descriptive language while telling details and try to convey a vivid picture so your audience can get the best picture when reading your narrative.
• When concluding your essay, reflect on what was experienced or observed during your narrative.
