Understanding Narrative Writing
What makes you different from everyone else on the planet? Your memories. Your life is a movie that only you experience—until you write a personal narrative to share memories with others.
Link to the Traits
When writing, pay special attention to the traits of ideas, organization, and voice.
Ideas ■
Select a memory that you really want to share. Include specific details that let readers experience the memory as though they had been there.
Organization ■
Relay events in chronological order. To describe locations, you can use spatial organization.
