Question

Your narrative should be between 800-1,000 words and be divided into three basic parts:

1. Introduction: Needs to include general background information (the setting) and a hint of the

theme (Your purpose behind telling the story).

2. Body: Needs to have a clear sequence of events. Paragraphs should be divided at major shifts in

the story. (In other words, do not limit yourself to only three paragraphs in the body. Also, your

paragraphs may vary in length.)

3. Conclusion: Needs to clearly state the theme, or the overall message of the story. (Ex: Did you

learn from this experience that you had more strength than you thought possible? Did you learn

not to take yourself so seriously? Did you discover how to trust other people?) Remember that

this does not have to be more than two or three sentences.
