  2. What is a Personal Narrative? • A composition that describes a memorable experience in the life of the writer. • It could also include thematic purpose. The experience must be important and memorable.

  3. The Keys to Effective Personal Narratives: • They are about past events/experiences. • These are significant events, both for the writer and the potential reader. • Personal narratives focus on strong description and chronological organization. • Personal narratives are told in the first person (the writer uses “I”). • The reader should also be able to learn from it (the thematic purpose).

  4. What is thematic purpose? • The judgment that comes from the experience. • Refers to what was learned, why it was important. • This is often expressed in the final paragraph.
