Key Concept
Are you ready to write? You learned about narrative writing, researched your topic, and planned the story you want to tell. The time has come for you to use everything you learned to draft your narrative essay.  

A draft is a work in progress. It gives you the freedom to try anything you want. Do you have an idea about how to tell your story? Try it! If your first idea does not work, try another one! You do not need to worry about getting all the details exactly right. This is just your first draft. A first draft means that you can try anything once. Are you ready to be creative?  

Who will narrate the story? The main character may tell the story in first person, or you may tell the story for the character in third person. Either way, you must maintain a consistent point of view throughout the essay. Remember to include dialogue and details to bring the story to life.
