Transitions: The Personal Narrative utilizes paragraph breaks and transitional words and phrases that help the audience flow in and around the story. Read more about paragraph transitions in Appendix A.
Develop the characters in the story so that the reader has a clear understanding of the people in the story–even if the one person in the story is YOU. Help your reader learn about the characters both by what they say and by what they do.
Develop a sense of imagery within the story using sensory-driven details. In other words, create a vivid story by helping the reader to see, hear, taste and touch just as the characters in your story do. Sensory details bring your readers into the story–into the experience you are sharing with them.
