Directions:
A personal narrative is a story that allows a writer to share in depth details about ONE event from his or her life. This event can be happy, sad, life changing, or memorable. When you think back on your life, what events stand out for you? Was it the day you hit a home-run in your t-ball game? Was it the day you met your future spouse? Was it your favorite family vacation? Choose one memory from your life history to share in a personal narrative paragraph. As you write your narrative and tell your story, use very specific details so that your readers almost feel like they were there with you experiencing this event.
