The narrative is a story or part of a story, either fiction or nonfiction. It is not based on the readings since it should be your own creative thoughts and writing.
Decide what you will focus on for your own narrative writing. If you have personal work you have already done and would like to use a piece you have in progress, by all means. If not, begin to generate ideas for what you will use for this piece. Will you explore writing a short story? Will you choose to write a chapter that you envision might appear in a larger novel, ultimately? Would you prefer to write a memoir, biographical, or autobiographical creative non-fiction piece?
6. After generating ideas for your own writing, begin actually writing (my suggestion is not to begin at the beginning……too daunting). We will be sharing these drafts with the class in Week 6, so you have many weeks to work on them, but a little work each week makes the process better.
