Key Concepts
A personal narrative is a story about yourself that includes interesting details and experiences you've had.
When brainstorming ideas for your personal narrative, think about a time when you had to face an obstacle or challenge, or about happy, sad, or funny moments.
The introduction of your personal narrative should grab the reader's attention by asking a question, telling a joke, sharing a shocking fact, or explaining how the experience changed you.
