Personal Narrative Writing Assignment

Due on January 21st in Canvas by 11:59 PM

A personal narrative is a piece of literary nonfiction, based on truth, in which a writer reflects on an experience in his or her life. This means that when you are writing, you can add in details, dialogue, and even events that didn’t actually happen to make the story more engaging or make it flow better.

The ultimate goal of this project is to write a personal narrative that shares an experience from your life with your audience. Your readers should be able to see the movie version of your experience playing in their imaginations as they read; you must re-create the experience so your readers see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt, and even smell what you smelled. By the end, your reader should understand what the experience means to you and maybe even understand a larger theme.

Choose a moment or experience from your life to base your personal narrative on. Then write your story considering the following guidelines:

Make sure your narrative:

Has strong characterization

Has sensory detail

Has a clear structure with a hook, rising conflict, and a climax

Has greater depth and meaning

Submission

Your final draft will be typed and submitted into Canvas
(I will be uploading to Turnitin.com for a plagiarism check as well)

It should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced

MLA Format

Pay close attention to the rubrics!
