HOW TO WRITE A NARRATIVE ESSAY
Include all of the elements of good storytelling. You'll need an introduction, setting, plot, characters, climax and conclusion.
- Introduction: The beginning. How are you going to set the story up? Is there something useful or important here that gets mentioned later on?
- Setting: Where the action takes place. What does it look like? Which words can you use to make the reader feel like they are there when they read it?
- Plot: What happens. The meat of the story, the essential action. Why is the story worth telling?
- Characters: Who's in the story. What does the story tell us about the characters? What do the characters tell us about the story?
- Climax: The suspenseful bit before anything is resolved. Are we left hanging on the edges of our seat? Do we need to know what happens next?
- Conclusion: How everything resolves. What does the story mean in the end? How have things, people, ideas changed now that the end is revealed?
