This document provides instructions for writing a personal narrative. It recommends choosing an interesting topic from one's life, such as a family event, trip, or hobby. The writer should do a rough draft quickly without editing, then add sensory details and strong verbs in a first revision. A second revision involves reading it aloud to catch awkward sentences and checking word usage and punctuation. The writer should then proofread for spelling, punctuation, capitalization, formatting, and ensure the title and heading meet assignment requirements.
