Narrative Account

  • By now everyone needs to have their topic, conflict, and question written out.
  • Have your outline labeled with a beginning, middle, and end!
  • Go over your outline and label where it would be appropriate to expand with a thoughtshot, snapshot, or dialogue.
  • Look at your outline and determine where you will begin your draft. Capture the reader's attention by starting in the middle of things with dialogue or some action!
  • Continue working on your drafts. Remember to write on every other line.
