Pizza can be made several ways. You can put just about anything on a pizza. It can be eaten with out using forks or spoons. It can be delivered to your house!! It can be eaten hot or cold.

This type of writing tells a story. It can be fiction or nonfiction. This is my favorite type of writing!!! A good narrative has a beginning, middle, and end. Good narrative authors use transition words and phrases when they write. Narrative Writing Examples

Narrative stories should include the following components. Characters Setting Plot (Events) Climax (Turning Point)
