Using the advice from the chapters in the book (Chapters 1-4 and 17), create a two-paragraph narrative essay about an experience you remember about reading, writing, or literature Remember that a quality narrative will both entertain and include a message. I’ve posted an example for you under this module.
Paragraph count: You will be expected to two well-developed paragraphs.
Sentence count: Your paragraphs should have 8 – 12 sentences each.
Title: Begin your essay with a catchy and interesting title that makes me want to read your writing.
Sentence / punctuation variety: Demonstrate sentence and punctuation variety. Make sure that your paragraphs flow together and that you have good transitions.
Metaphors / similes / dialogue: Using figurative language or dialogue can really add pizzazz to your writing! While this is optional, I suggest you take advantage of this colorful language.
Key advice: Include adequate specific detail and organize your writing around a solid main idea and strong topic sentences. DO NOT hand in a rough draft; do not forget to review your paper essay before submitting a final essay.
Formatting: Use MLA formatting only. (Use the “sample essays” at OWL / Purdue or in the textbook).
