CC Personal Narrative Question

.

Write a 4 page Personal Narrative about an important and meaningful experience—recall a person, place, or event from your past and reflect on its/their significance to you.  See pg. 214-218 in the textbook for prewriting and drafting ideas.

Here are some questions that will help you write your Personal Narrative:

Does your Personal Narrative describe an event that had strong personal meaning for you?

Does your Personal Narrative have vivid descriptive passages and sharp details? Review your use of adjectives, adverbs, and their effectiveness in creating word pictures.  You are re-creating the event for your readers.

Are the events in your Personal Narrative in a logical sequence, i.e. reverse chronological order or chronological order?

Is there an introduction (introduce the topic of your Personal Narrative), a body (describe the event itself), and a conclusion (explain the significance of the event)?

Is the language of your Personal Narrative clear and appropriate to your purpose and audience? Consider word choice, tone, sentence structures, and the addition of dialogue.
