Narration is just one of many strategies for developing an essay. Narrative writing is essentially telling a story, often relying on personal experience. Effective narrative writing:
- is told from a particular point of view,
- makes and supports a point (has a purpose),
- is filled with precise detail,
- uses vivid verbs and modifiers,
- uses conflict and sequence as does any good plot,
- may use dialogue.
For your blog assignment this week, you are to write a narrative consisting of about 400-500 words. I want you to choose a community that you have been or are currently a member. What is that community? How did you become part of this community and how long have you been a member? What actions does your community perform that demonstrates it is a community (this will involve you also providing your own definition of community)?
