This is a 6-paragraph PERSONAL NARRATIVE essay. (If you can fit a 7th paragraph I will really appreciated)
Steps for the personal narrative essay.
1. ESTABLISH A CLEAR PURPOSE. it should include some kind of attention-getter to engage people. Write the thesis in the first paragraph. And also develop a title for the personal essay (I will give you some quick personal facts about me later)
2. Identify the Time and Place. For the time it does not to have a specific date (you can it was on my birthday or in the winter). For the place, I have lived in many countries so you can choose between Italy or Spain. Also the settings, give physical descriptions of the settings, but for this paper, choose to describe an Arena or Stadium where people do figure skating/ rhythmic gymnasia, since I will give you some facts about me to make the essay more personal since it is a “good memory for me”.
3. Keep a consistent point of view. Since in this paper, I have to talk about myself in the first person, tend to avoid to begin too many sentences with “I”. vary sentence structure and approach. If you do shift your point of view as a second person, make sure you have a good reason to do so.
4. Keep the verb tense consistently. Since the essay has to be written in the past tense. But for a dramatic effect you might keep the verb in the present tense. But I do prefer the past tenses.
5. Include plenty of details and sensory appeal. When you write this consider all the journalist’s questions: the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. Also, make sure to include what I supposedly saw, heard, felt, smelt and even taste.
6. Present the details in a logical sequence. Present the event in chronological order. Use variety of transition expressions such as first, next, then, and after that, and etc..
7. Use dialogue effectively. In a descriptive narrative, you can use dialogue to help make your story more realistic. Including the exact words that someone says is often more effective than summarizing the person’s ideas.
8. There is an 8th but Since I do not like to share personal things about myself on front of my class/ show private photos. there will not be visual aids.
9. End with a Thought-Provoking Conclusion. This descriptive narrative need to make a significant point about something I learnt or came to understand as a result of my experience. However, do not make the ending sound sooooo mechanical by saying ” the point of the story is..” or “the lesson I learnt is…”. Describe it more in a natural way and end on a memorable note.
————————————————
For this essay you won’t be use online sources, or anything like that. Maybe you can use online sources if you don’t have knowledge of things that happens in figure skate championships/competitions. Since I do not like to share my personal life and I have to let my classmates to give opinions is a no-no for me. So you will have to make up the story, but I will give you some REAL personal quick facts about a real event in my life.
FACTS:
1. When I was 12 (in 2012) I was in a figure skating competition.
2. You can choose between Spain or Italy for the story (I had competitions in both places)
3. I was surrounded with a lot of people and that made me felt a little nervous and anxious.
4. My couch gave me a pep talk.
5. My parents were in the crowd, too.
6. I won. I won the First place.
7. It was a national competition, not an International.
8. In case you do not know, I am a girl !! (If you need to know my gender for certain things) I, figure skaters, use dress specially made and customized for every single girl.
9. My mum helped to make my dress with two other designers for this competition.
10. I was so happy because I thought my anxiety was going to make me screw up and forget my coreography.
11. My partner was my best friend!!
12. For me, It was a big stressful but wonderful day. That the day I was the happiest.
These are facts of some people who was there and how I felt. Of course you can make your own, but I just wanted to give you these facts so you can make it “more” personal-ish.. I guess. If you want ask me some questions about the real event, you can write me.
