Step 3: Personal Narrative Write the Body: Next, use your planning notes to write the body, or middle, of your story. Include action and details that will keep readers interested. Remember to consider the following:
Write the Ending A strong narrative has a beginning, middle, and end. The conclusion, or end, should relate to events in your narrative. It should also make the reader feel satisfied with the ending. In a personal narrative, a strong conclusion might tell how a problem the writer faced was solved. share the writer’s thoughts and feelings about an experience. For example: Then the park opened. It was filled with grass, flowers, and trees. I was happy that my idea was choosed, but I was even happier that my neighbors and I would have a safe, clean, green place to enjoy—right in our own backyards. The writer provides a satisfying ending: he created a plan for how to convince the city council to turn the empty lot into a park. He describes his happiness that his idea was chosen and that his neighbors would all get to enjoy the park. Revise: Introduction to Revise When you revise your writing, you are improving your writing and making it stronger. You want to change it until you feel it states exactly what you are trying to say. To revise your personal narrative, you should use one or more of these four revision strategies: Add details and information to make the message clearer. Remove distracting or unnecessary words or ideas. Replace bland or overused language with more precise or stronger words. Rearrange phrases and sentences to be sure readers can understand the message. Look at the Revised Student Model: Out of the Concrete Jungle. This is Emil's revised draft of his personal narrative. Notice how he used many of the above strategies to make his writing stronger. |
