Presentation transcript:

Partner Review of Narrative Story Individual: Read through your story once, and mark spots where you’d like a second opinion. (Showing vs. telling; word choice; verb tense; conclusion; etc.) Partners: Place your essays in the middle. The first writer should read his/her story aloud, pausing to ask for a second opinion from the listener periodically. Then switch roles. Does this section “show” you what happened? How could I change my introduction? Do you like my conclusion? Does this sound awkward? Did I provide enough descriptive detail? What do you think is missing from my story? Did I format my dialogue correctly

CONCLUSIONS End with an image – The wind sings through the window like a siren, and the steam floats from my skin like milk. End with an action – But since, short of diving in after him, there was nothing I could do, I walked away. End with dialogue – “I don’t know where you got it from, but in the end, it’s going to kill you.” End with reflection –... I wished that he had been beside me so that I could have searched his face for the answers which only the future would give me now.

Title The title of your personal narrative is as much a part of the essay as the words that follow it. Word for word, the title may in fact be the most important part of your composition: it is the first thing that your reader sees, and it sets the tone for everything that comes after it.
