Narrative Writing Assessment.
The part you probably don’t have yet is a conclusion which would be the RESOLUTION of your narrative. What did you learn or gain from this experience? Also make sure you have plenty of exposition/intro.
Your narrative should follow a Plot Mountain sort of thing. Exposition – Inciting Incident (that’s the main event in your story) – Rising Action (in this story, necessarily short) – Climax (FINALLY…) – Resolution (I learned…)
In your writing, make sure you include:
- Effective opening and closing
- Well-developed characters
- Consistent point-of-view
- Elaboration to help readers picture your story
- Sensory details and narrative style choices
- Effective narrative techniques (dialogue, plot devices, etc….)
- Variety of transition words
- Capitals, end marks, and other appropriate conventions
Your essay will be scored using the following criteria:
- Purpose and Organization: Is the main idea clearly communicated? Is the essay clearly focused? How well did your ideas thoughtfully flow from beginning to end using effective transitions? How effective were your introduction and your conclusion?
- Elaboration/Evidence: How well did you elaborate your ideas? How well did you clearly state ideas using precise language that is appropriate for your audience and purpose?
- Conventions: How well did you follow the rules of grammar usage, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling?
Save a few minutes at the end to read it over and catch obvious errors.
