Writing a Personal Narrative

Prewriting

List Topic Ideas ðŸŸª Think of thrilling, goofy, confusing, important, and strange events in your life. Which would you like to write about in a personal narrative?

Select One Idea ðŸŸª Read your list and circle the event that you’d most like to write about. If you can answer yes to the questions below, you’ve selected a great topic for a personal narrative.

  • Do I have strong feelings (happy, sad, excited, fearful) about this event?
  • Can I remember sights, sounds, smells, and tastes?
  • Would I like others to experience this event?

Plan Your Writing ðŸŸª List the main actions that happened in this event. Or draw simple pictures of the main things that happened—like in a comic strip.
