Writing A Narrative Essay

Writing A Narrative EssayWhat is a narrative essay and good topics for 7th grade? Well, that depends on the grade level.September is here again and that means that school is about to begin. This is also the time when my students start year two of their major or junior high. And, since most students already have a good grasp of their core subjects by now, I'm always looking for ways to add more complexity to their 'softer' subjects so they can enjoy the same learning as their classmates.I sometimes think of this as writing about narrative essays. But, in truth, I am just describing an informal format of writing that doesn't require you to worry about complex themes, templates, or even grammar. And, best of all, you get to learn about something entirely new without having to spend hours on learning about it.But, to write a narrative essay, you need to be able to write from your students' perspective. That means you should create a theme and find unique ways to connect stories and event s within the context of one cohesive narrative. There are three ways to do this. I recommend learning them from me as you are learning to write a narrative essay.Step one is to take a peek at your writing. When you learn to write a narrative essay, you will find that you have a natural tendency to make 'lessons' out of your paragraphs.For example, if you are writing a narrative essay about school, there is nothing wrong with spending five minutes commenting on what you learned that day in class. It's actually good for your students to see how much you are connected and the importance of connections. Also, you might want to consider choosing a story or topic that you know a lot about.For example, if you took the same class as one of your neighbors who is going to take the local high school, then you might want to choose a related story to relate to that class. Or, you could choose a topic you've read about recently in the newspaper or magazine. As you know, students love connecting e vents or situations in their lives, so it's a great way to find your interests.By taking a peek at your students' work and selecting a story or topic that will bring them closer together, you can add more depth to your learning experience and enjoy more time with your students. And, you can teach them a valuable lesson about the connection that they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.
