When you begin a writing assignment, it is important that you outline the main points you intend to address. Keeping yourself organized when you write and having a clear plan is important. You will now complete an outline for a personal narrative essay. You will organize the main points that you want to include in your actual narrative essay. In your narrative outline, you will need to include the main points below in your outline.

Personal narratives are developed with a specific five-paragraph plot structure that includes an introductory paragraph, body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. Since personal narratives usually tell a story, they use standard plot elements, such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

Topic: Clearly state your chosen topic for your narrative here.



I. Introduction: In one to two sentences, provide background on the main point of your narrative. You likely want to summarize the five Ws plus how so that you are able to set the scene and establish your main characters.



II. First Body Paragraph: In one to two sentences, summarize the rising action of your narrative.



III. Second Body Paragraph: In one to two sentences, summarize the climax of your narrative.



IV. Third Body Paragraph: In one to two sentences, summarize the falling action (or what occurs after the climax) of your narrative.



V. Conclusion: In one to two sentences, summarize the conclusion or resolution by discussing what you learned or what new perspective you gained.
