The first part of this assignment will help you “flesh out” your topic. Take 10-15 minutes to free write about your topicWrite down everything that pertains to your topic, including questions your readers might have. Don’t worry about grammar or sentence structure; this is a brainstorming activity.
B
Next, create an outline as a preliminary structure for the narrative essay. but be sure to include the following:
Outline in three to five parts only (rule no. 1)
Don’t describe; summarize (no. 5)

Part 3
This essay explores the Narrative Mode, which is perhaps the most natural style of writing for most people.
One of the goals of the narrative form is to allow readers to feel as if they are not simply reading someone else’s story, but that they are somehow part of it.Unlike simply telling a story though, a narrative essay has a specific piece of information to share, a lesson for the reader.There should be a clear reason for your telling the story.This is where the “essay” in the narrative essay becomes apparent.
Your assignment this week is to write such an essay. Refer back to your outline of a significant event that you wrote for W2.Keep in mind that you are writing a story and it is important to freely tell your story.But, this is still an academic essay.The goal of your story is to support a clearly stated thesis/lesson for the reader.As such, your tale should be wrapped in a clear introduction and conclusion.
Criteria
Your essay should contain the following basic features:
An introduction with an attention grabbing opening (hook), a well-defined message or argument (thesis), and any background information the reader needs to fully understand your story;
Body paragraphs which a tell the story of your clear and specific, singular event that illustrates the essay thesis;
Vivid language that works to recreate the event, including descriptions of where the event took place, the people who were involved, and the things these people said and did;
A conclusion that briefly implicitly or explicitly reviews your story, reiterates the lessons you learned and that you hope the reader to learn, and provides a closing thought such as
owhy this event is still personally significant,
othe state of your life since the event and how you feel about it,
ofuture plans related to the event,
orhetorical questions for the reader, etc.
In addition to the above, the final draft of your essay should be:
