Links to Sample Narration Essays

Some students have not turned in Narration Essays yet. If you would like to look at some sample essays, below are links to the ones posted previously.

The Reason I Cook Every Day
My Grandmother's Story
My Friend's Escape
A Spiritual Experience

You should also have two other samples that Kevin gave you as hard copies in class.

Please remember to do the following:
1) Include dialog in your story.
2) Indent each time the speaker changes. If you're using block style, then you need to have a space between each new speaker's quote.
3) Use quotation marks and other punctuation correctly.

There seems to be some confusion with point #2 above. If you look at the example essays Kevin posted, you can see how it's supposed to be done.

This is WRONG:
My teacher said, "Please make a new paragraph (indent) for each new quoted line!" I said, "I don't know how to do that." Then the teacher said that I should look at some examples online. He often tells us this, but sometimes we don't understand him. "You can click on my links," he said, "and you'll find them easily."

This is CORRECT:
My teacher said, "Please make a new paragraph (indent) for each new quoted line!"

I said, "I don't know how to do that."
