Draft Your Narrative Write a draft of your narrative, following
your notes, outline, and/or graphic organizers.
• Begin by introducing your audience to the setting, people, and
experience that will be central to the narrative.
• Describe a chronological sequence of events.
• Write from the first-person point of view, and allow your own unique
voice to shine through.
• Use sensory language and descriptive details to make the setting,
people, and events realistic for your audience.
• Provide a powerful conclusion. A personal narrative should reflect on
the events and connect the experience to a broad theme.
