It’s also easiest to write narratives about events that took place in one day or less. Look at your emotions chart. Can you think of times when you have felt intense emotions? I felt the emotion….

To choose your event, think about: • Length of time: It’s easiest to write personal narratives that take place in one day or less • Details: Be sure to choose something that you remember clearly • Sharing: Remember, you will sure this narrative. Don’t choose anything that’s too personal or would be painful to write about • What you learned: Hopefully, the event will have taught you something about life—a theme that you can use for your narrative!
