Purpose:

For this writing assignment, you are creating a narrative that connects your own experiences to a particular place that has meaning to you.

Audience:

Consider your audience to be your instructor and your classmates, who represent a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. Do not write an assignment for the English teacher. In this context, consider your instructor a member of your readership.

Form:

Narrative essays share a familiar structure. They have titles, introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions, but they also afford the writer a great deal of freedom and creativity to share your story in a way that is true to your experiences. Have some fun with this essay, but do keep in mind that you are in a college class, so your story should be appropriate for the context and the audience
