Your assignment for this module is to write a narrative essay. You may base this story on an experience you have had or create a completely fictional story; regardless, make sure your narrative centers on a compelling conflict that propels the action forward. Use description to effectively flesh out the characters that appear in the story and to make the settings in which it takes place come alive.
Use chronological order to present your experience in a logical manner; you may also use flashbacks (or perhaps even flash forwards) to jump around in time, but make sure the reader can easily follow the action of the story.
Use transitions to effectively tie events together and connect your ideas. Your final paper should be 2–4 typed, double-spaced pages (approximately 500 to 1000 words)Download and carefully read the assignment:
