It’s pretty likely that you will not discover the point until you have spent some time working on it.What makes a good personal narrative?A good personal narrative will take the reader step by step through the experience.A good personal narrative uses the senses to describe things. The reader wants to smell, touch, taste, hear and see the story unfold.A good personal narrative incorporates dialogue and metaphors along with good sensory description.See tips below to help you as you write your personal narrative.Have a strong lead for your introduction paragraph.Each paragraph needs a transition, topic sentence, detail sentences, conclusion sentence (indent at the start of paragraph by hitting the TAB button).The personal narrative is about ONE SHORT MOMENT in time (30 minutes or less).Expand on details. Your character and setting descriptions should be so detailed that I could draw a picture from your written description.Have a reflection paragraph for your conclusion. In this reflection paragraph, look back on this moment and explain how it has affected you, the people around you, and/or the world around you. Be sure not to use YOU in this. You are reflecting, not telling the reader how to feel.Re-read and have someone else read it. Check to make sure each sentence has a subject and predicate. Make sure you are in the same tense (past or present) the entire time, check comma placement, dialogue, etc.Make only one small space between paragraphs.Use strong word choice.
