English 11

Tomorrow, we will have a vocabulary quiz. In addition, we will write our narrative compositions on Monday. Your assigned topic is as follows:

Write a narrative essay (300-500 words) about one scene from your life which takes place over the course of a few minutes or a few hours. It can be either thrilling or frightening or painful or joyful. Try to employ as many narrative techniques as possible (see handout for a list of these techniques). You must definitely include images appealing to at least three different senses and at least one figurative device.
