Some strategies to use to make personal narrative essays strong and lively: Ø Include names of people, places, and events. Ø Use visual details: colors, shapes, textures, sizes, dates, times, sounds. Ø Use dialogue and interior monologue—what did the people say? What did you think but didn’t say out loud. Ø Build suspense as you tell the story.

Tips for writing essays: **Before you start…** **SPA** **Subject** **(be sure you understand the subject very well)** **Purpose** **(Why do you write? Entertain, persuade, or inform; or a combination of two** **or three?)** **Audience** **(Whom are you writing for? What are their expectations?)** **The Writing Process:** **1. Prewriting** **Generating ides, planning and organizing your ides** **2. Writing** **Using your ideas to write a first draft** **3. Revising and Editing** **Check and improve what you have written** **1. Prewriting** – // getting started // – a way to warm up your brain before you write. **Generating ideas** – prewriting techniques that are usually used to generate ideas. **Brainstorming** **– a list of as many ideas as possible (words, phrases, sentences, or** **even questions) without worrying about how you will use them.** **Clustering** **– a visual way of generating ideas; to show you the connections among** **your ideas using circles and lines.** **Discussion** **– to talk about the topic with your classmates, friends, family, or other** **people.** **Freewriting** **– if it is hard finding a focus for a broad subject write as much as you** **can, as fast as you can, without worrying about mistakes.** **Keeping** **a journal** **– you can start doing it, or you can use the one you already have.** **You could write about the events of the day, the people you met or talked, or your** **reaction to something you heard, read, or saw.** **Planning and organizing ideas –** Make a simple outline as a guide. Group the items that **go together, and cross out items that do not belong there (irrelevant or not related to the** **topic). Organize them by order of time, place, or importance.** **2. Writing Paragraphs** **A** ** paragraph is a group of sentences that all relate to a single topic. ** **Topic** **Sentence** **– the topic of the paragraph is usually stated in the first sentence. It** **should not be too general or too specific.** **Supporting** **Sentences** **– add details to the topic (reasons, facts, personal experience,**  **and examples) there should be enough supporting sentences to prove your point made** **12** **in the topic sentence. They should be as specific as possible. And not to repeat the** **point made in the topic sentence.** **Concluding** **Sentence** **– Some of the paragraphs have it, and it summarizes the ideas of** **the paragraph. It is the last sentence.** **Organization** **– the way you organize the information.** **o** // **Time order –** // **to tell a story, give instructions, or explain a process. The** **sentences are organized chronologically.** **o** // **Spatial order** // **– to describe what something looks like.** **o** // **Order of importance** // **– to organize ideas, examples and reasons for emphasis.** **They can be organized in different ways: From least to most important; from** **general to specific; from most to least familiar; from simplest to most complex** **(and reverse of all these).** **Transitions** **–** they are signals (words or group of words) that show connection **between one idea and the next (**// **next, for example, in addition etc.).** // **They can show** **time, spatial relations, listing additional/contrasting ideas, give examples etc.** **3. Revising and Editing** **It is impossible to write a perfect paragraph/essay on the first try.** **Revising** – to look at the paragraph again and find out how it can be improved. **Editing** – the final part of the revision step. What kind of changes should be made as  **it is revised?** **Revising checklist for paragraphs:** **1. Make sure you have a topic sentence** **2. Cross out sentences that do not relate to the main idea.** **3. Check to see if the sentences are in the right order.** **4. Add new ideas if they support the topic sentence.** **5. Make sure you have included transitions to help guide the reader.** **6. Check the grammar, punctuation, and spelling.** **Revising checklist for essays:** **1. Make sure that the introduction provides enough information to create an** **interest in the topic for the readers.** **2. Check if there is a thesis statement that states the main idea of the essay?** **3. Make sure that all paragraphs provide adequate support and information to** **develop and prove the thesis statement.** **4. Check all the paragraphs according to the paragraph checklist.** **5.
